I have a very close relationship with the country and what is happening there sickens me. The military rulers were seemingly on the road to a full democracy, yet most experts knew that it wasn't the case. The image of Aung San Suu Kyi has been tarnished around the world sadly, but she is revered in Burma, as I have witnessed on many occasions. I was fortunate to meet The Lady and she is formidable. Those who criticised her for her seeming co-operation with the junta don't know the full facts. Those very same people who she was accused of supporting during the ethnic cleansing are the same people who have arrested her and now charged her with ridiculous offences. There was never a road to democracy, and once Daw Suu Kyi became even more popular with the people, the military acted.
Burma is a place that most people don't know, and even fewer care about, but this is a country that is in desperate need of help and support. There are few places where there is so much kindness, and few places where there is so much spectacular scenery . Save Burma and save Myanmar.
