Though Daw Aung Suu Kyi is imprisoned she stands defiant and strong willed. According to her attorney she proclaimed;
“We are facing a crisis of constitution, not a constitutional crises”
In layman’s terms the judicial process she is going through is no where close to being constitutional or legal. It is a crisis since Gen. Than Shwe has gone beyond his own laws and restrictions to have Aung San Suu Kyi vilified and condemned to more jail time. Than Shwe has proven that he has no honor with this circus of a trial while violating his own cryptic constitution. Small wonder the *Association of Southeast Asian Nations is pondering the expulsion of Burma from their ranks. This is a dynamic turn of events since the ASEAN rarely says anything at all about their members.
There is nothing honorable about the trial of Aung San Suu Kyi and there is nothing legal about the case according to Than Shwe’s constitution. Yet he keeps on moving forward with this sham with a vengeance. He has gone beyond the tenets of sanity clearly showing his inability to lead a nation with good conscience and sound dictum. The trial was filled with lies and fabrication as it was, then **John William Yettaw threw a monkey wrench into the trial with his rendition that contradicts the junta’s fabrication. I’m more prone to believe the ***taxi drivers story about dropping John off at the gates of Aung San Suu Kyi’s home. It’s logical and makes sense unlike the junta’s version.
The junta is stunned by what they thought was going to be an open and shut case. They postponed the trial till June 5th so they can collectively find another solution to the Aung San Suu Kyi debacle. But with the eyes of the world on Burma at this point in time anything the junta does will be under close scrutiny. The case against Aung San Suu Kyi has managed to enter all facets of society on every country of the world. India tried to mask the trial from their people only to discover that word has spread across the country. There is no question India’s population will want to know why India is so heavily invested in Burma. It is sure to be a political nightmare to those who are associated with Burma’s junta in the near future.
There is an old saying; “every dog has his day” and the bulldog of Burma, Than Shwe, managed to open up a Pandora’s Box that he will find impossible to close. His day of reckoning is close at hand and ironically by his own doing. From his inner circle of generals to the common foot soldier there is a quandary that is eating at the very fabric of Than Shwe’s regime and it is going to be his undoing, there is no question.
With Generals and soldiers veering close to revolt Than Shwe has shot himself in the foot with his latest fiasco. Now the issue is if he is actually competent or sane enough to be at the helm of this impoverished nation. Predictably it will be one of his own that puts an end to Gen. Than Shwe’s madness. For the general who accomplishes this task will come a hero’s welcome and history will remember him as the liberator of Burma. Than Shwe will be remembered for the atrocities he committed while his generals distance themselves from his madness to avoid prosecution. It has been envisioned that Burma would be freed from bondage by someone possibly from within Than Shwe’s circle and I welcome the prospect. Than Shwe better rush to his fortune teller and find out what the stars say. If the soothsayer is truthful they will tell him that the end is near.
In the meantime the world prays for the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the liberation of her nation Burma.
