How dump could the SPDC be? Well, the dummer the SPDC, the more
worrying they would feel. So, we shall let the fear driven SPDC to
speculate for another four days or so.

It's a pity that they dont'know what they are saying. Daw Aung San Suu
Kyi was under house arrest for six years until 1995. Very recently, she
was under siege in a car for six days and was forcefully sent home
against her will. The truth is, whenever she had been intimidated
unfairly, there was an adverse affect on the image of the military
regime in Burma.
Now, I guess, all the enjoyment that SDPC has had for 10 long years had
been wiped out by the six-days of non-violent sit-in protest in a car by
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

There we go again. We could not understand which entire people they are
refering to. The fact is, the NLD party was overwhelmingly voted in to
form the government in the May 1990 general elections.
In soliderity with the NLD's movements,
