My opinion is we are hungry for democracy too much in somehow when ppl dont get what they want they will claim or protest in some way to get it. Like in Thailand now. Ppl should learn what is different between the democracy and self-need..

i feel so ashamed reading some of these comments. most of these people are not educated enough. some of these people are ignorant & others have so much hatred that it's blinding them. some comments are just plain atrocious. why did you even write them when there's no purpose; your comments are a waste of space just like you. she's trying to free our country & help our people live a better life through nonviolence because the consequences of war is depression.no one wants to see people starve.

@clickswitchh I dont like her looks. I dont find Asian bitches attractive. They are short and slitty eyes, and Aung San Gook Kyi has very large ears.

Youe entitled to your opinion man, but violence is no guarantee. I want to kill those responsible for the atrocities in Burma aswell but sometimes it does take more courage to fight the fight the way Aung San Suu Kyi did (with non violence). Gandhi fought the British with non violence and won.

Violence is crazy and so are you limwang. Who exactly do you want to kill in Myanmar/Burma?

And why? Peace and Love, Sky
