Aung San Suu Kyi on Non-Violence

This poor woman the world has stood by and not done jack shit for her, all she wanted the best for her country and they lock her up its like does she have any hope?!

I am a citizen of the United States of America. This is not something of which I boast, and I cannot say that my country is deserving of praise as of late, quite the opposite. But, even with all its bureaucracy, and its bumbling, and its obvious follies and faults we do not deprive anyone of their life merely on their ethnicity, religion, sex, skin color, or any other so-called differences without there being severe repercussions on those who perpetrated the act. The world has stood by.

China has stood by, with an obvious wrong being perpetrated under their watch. With their stamp of approval. How can anyone deny this?
India has stood by, Russia has stood by, The USA has stood by, Europe has stood by, Japan has stood by...
The World powers turned their faces away from the plight of people all over the world. In Burma, Darfur, Serbia and so many others that are examples of the worst in us, in humanity as a whole. And the few who care to try and make things better are killed.

What makes America different to Burma; they both commit mass genocides against their own people.

Guantanamo Bay, I'm sure you know, held people with complete disregard to the constitution, with the silence of Habeas Corpus. What now can Americans do to contest the government's actions with the passing of the Patriot Act?

Burma do not conflict with other nations on the prospects of nation building.

Sadly, America is no more mature than a power hungry third world nation.

I am Indian born and living in USA from last 2 decades. Even I don't use word Gandhiji and she used it. It is a most affectionate way of calling Gandhi in Indian way. That shows her love for India and Gandhi where she lived shortly and got some of her education.

But I am not sure India did enough for Burmese democratic cause. I am very disappointed but what can we do when super power like USA didn't do much and also communist china is behind the junta.

Oh yes, the junta definitely would want to work with her to make things better for the people. That's their ultimate concern.

I'm curious, are you Burmese? Have you spoken with many Burmese people?

Long live democracy. Long live Aung San Suu Kyi.

A citizen of India.

The extraordinary courage of Aung San Suu Kyi and the people of the democracy movement in Burma are well known around the planet. Persevere, freedom will prevail.

Well, Tom, the role of the junta in the Burmese poverty issue is a chicken and egg story, which is futile and pointless. But given ur "idealistic" zeal, it is only natural for you to bring it up to shove the blame to other's shoes. I don't want to lecture anyone, but I suggest you to read into the wikipedia and other available sources to understand the role of Aung San Suu Kyi's father's role. How democratic he was and how the country was developing.
W.r.t. Tibet, ur ignorance is staggering!

You seem to be toting the party line of communist China. If you hold an office in the communist government, don't be surprised if one day the people are knocking at your door, telling you not to bother showing up for work. Hopefully they will be as peaceful as Aung San Suu Kyi.
