Some of the bridges built after 198 (r)

Subject: Re: Some of the bridges built after 1988

"BUT ISN'T PUTTING UP BRIDGES AND BUILDING ROADS THE JOB OF ANY GOVERNMENT? IF
YOU ARE GOING TO TALK LIKE THAT THEN WE'LL HAVE TO START MAKING A LIST OF ALL
THE BRIDGES AND THE ROADS AND THE RAILWAYS LINES THAT WERE PUT UP BY THE
COLONIAL GOVERNMENT. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY THAT GOOD GOVERNMENT IS ONE WHICH
BUILDS BRIDGES AND PUTS DOWN ROADS AND RAILWAYS, THEN WE'D HAVE TO FAVOR THE
COLONIAL GOVERNMENT AS A VERY GOOD GOVERNMENT. BUT I DOUBT THAT THE REGIME
WOULD ACCEPT SUCH A DEFINITION. SO, ALL RIGHT, THEY HAVE PUT UP BRIDGES, THERE
IS NOTHING WRONG IT, AND BRIDGES ARE A GOOD THING - IF THEY ARE BUILT STRONGLY
AND WON'T FALL DOWN UNDER THE WEIGHT OF TOO MANY CARS. BUT THIS IS JUST NORMAL
WORK THAT ANY GOVERNMENT WOULD BE EXPECTED TO DO AND I WOULD NOT THINK THAT
THIS IS A JUSTIFICATION FOR A MILITARY REGIME TO KEEP CLINGING TO POWER."

(Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's answer to a question of Asiaweek's senior
correspondent Roger Mitton, relating on the new bridges built by the military
government.)
