Do you agree, ohioWfan?
Thank you.
I was under the impression she was associated with the Communist Party of Burma. I am fairly certain the CPB wanted her to be released. Maybe they just share distaste for the ruling junta.
How long will they release her? Someone needs to pull a security detail or smuggle her out of the country before she becomes anothe Bhutto...no comparison on personalities between the two but I do fear for her life
I agree!!! Burma is Burma!!! My spouse traveled there for the past 2 years and has pushed the name Myanmar..... never will it be a pretend name.... Burma is Burma. People who live there need to know they matter!
I see people such as her, and the pro demcracy protesters in Iran, and I think these are among the bravest and noble people possible.
Then I think of Obama winning the Nobel for nothing more than winning an election, and I am convinced the world is quite mad.
whenever the media run stories making socialist military rulers look they thugs, they never mention that the thugs are socialists.
It’s the ‘Peoples’ Front of Judea’ vs the ‘Judean Peoples’ Front.’
Thank you!
