ASSK interviewed by NBC's Date-line Hoda Kotbe Part 1

[schchen2000]

You Americans are very ignorant. Men are not wearing "skirts" in Burma. It's called "Sarong" and worn in some of the Southeast Asian & South Asian countries. Go look it up in the dictionary. You don't know anything about other cultures. I doubt that you even knows your history and culture.

[hteinkmin]

Dont look upon it as sacrifice, it is a choice, if you choose to do something, then we should not say it is a sacrifice, because no body force you to do it.

[shishalurva]

Where men wear "skirts" and women smoke "cigars"?? Stupid journalist didn't get her facts right... These are not called skirts, they're called Sarongs.. and only old women smoke these so-called cigars... In fact, they are not cigars..They're made up of layers and layers of corn leaves or tobacco leaves...

[general1fred]

i know they just did not spell her name wrong. Hoda Kotbe, which is spelled HODA KOTB

[1000wrongdecisions]

Aung San Suu Kyi,

Sorry, we have let you down.

[uwinmg]

I would like to see what kind of people will vote for the party ( current uniforms soldiers turned civilians) that have had killed so many of its own unharmed people,students,women,children and even Monks,in the election of 10-10-2010.

This Friday, 31st July 2009 Burmese leader Daw Aung San Su Kyi trial will be the last day and decision will be made.

If Than Shwe jails our leader Aung San Su Kyi, we should assassinate his grandsons and daughters as revenge.

Please do something for ourselves, our country, younger generation and our religion rather than shouting or/and praying.

Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com dg

[weretheguys]

I agree with the previous commentators.

She really is the salt of the earth.

I look forward to the day when Aung San Suu Kyi assumes the office of Prime Minister. The office to which she was previously elected and cheated out of.

The Junta?......A bunch of cowards. They do NOT even have a trillionth of the courage that this BEAUTIFUl, ELEGANT and HIGHLY INTELLEGENT woman has.

FREE AUNG SAN SUU KYI NOW.

[alafuw]

The bit about the junta literally cutting off Suu Kyi's phone line with a pair of scissors would actually be quite funny if hadn't been so tragic. Still, this great woman manages to find a sliver of humour in the face of adversity.

[alafuw]

"If you choose to do something, then you shouldn't say it's a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it"

These are indeed some of the more inspirational ideas I've ever come across. It's not just lofty sounding or grand. It actually opened my eyes in a way that knocked me hard on the head. The idea dawned upon me and uncovered a new dimension in life. The clarity with which Suu Kyi speaks is exceptional, considering the pressure she is under.

[AliceCasinTV]

The regime can take away our lives but they can't take away our freedom.

[simplyxerky]

i really like the lines where she said that it wasn't a sacrifice because she made this choice. very insperational (:

[pilipinasmabuhay100]

You are absolutely right.

[pilipinasmabuhay100]

She is an inspiration...

[zinthero09]

i like her as an angel

[kellyhom]

You are the one we love,, we trust...  you aren't alone..

[pauldesem]

i love her..

[ngok2022]

SHE IS THE BEST!

[WalterandSnow]

She is our hero!

[angsana07]

Aung San Suu Kyi is adorable woman.

[uwinmg]

Thanks.Next to my mother,I adore her too.

[uwinmg]

What kind of a government would shoot its own unharmed people,even monks,students women and children ?

[alafuw]

A fake, illegitimate and beastly government. One that had lost the confidence of its people by a landslide in 1988.

[slovakmath]

@uwinmg what government would notshoot its unarmed citizens? every single regime on this planet has committed heinous acts of violence towards its own citizens. name one government who isnt repressive. And please dont say something foolish like the USA b/c heinous acts of violence are committed 1000's of times every day in that country. the whole purpose of a government is to maintain order and power. if order and power are at risk they will go to any means to regain that power and order

[slovakmath]

@uwinmg if Aung San Suu Kyi were to create a democratic government it would be no different, they supposedly have to act in bounds of the law, but they'll twist their actions &rewrite new laws to able themselves to act in totalitarian means. if anarchists were to try to overthrow her government she would violently crush them. thats in contradiction to what "freedom" means. her government would have laws & if people broke them the police would commit heinous acts to capture the perpetrator
