Suu Kyi 'should have resigned'

I don't know if this is whitewashing (oh, she has a good heart, just made mistakes) or just an admission that she's been a puppet, or even just fake, all along.
The whole saga is typical naive do-gooding westerners meet typical deceitful asians.

From Wikipedia
Wonder how they feel about that nowTime Magazine named her one of the "Children of Gandhi" and his spiritual heir to non-violence

On the other hand, a clear majority of the people of Myanmar support what the government did. So, democracy.

Re: Suu Kyi 'should have resigned'
She knows where her backing comes from, even IF she had any feelings towards the Rohingya's, she cant say anything.
Majority of Burmese feel they are NOT Burmese. A few times i mentioned them in talks with locals and none of the Burmese i spoke to would acknowledge the word "Rohingya" but called them Bengali's
One of the reasons why the military gave her some powers, is they knew by doing so, western goverment would withdraw some sanctions and Myanmar could enter the 21 century.
NOTE; they are NOT taking away her Noble peace prize

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: Suu Kyi 'should have resigned'
You have to question what information the 'majority of the people' were being fed, though it's quite possible they're all just a nasty bunch of murderous racists anyway.
But it's a fair point, what are the limits of democracy?
Should we be able to vote to euthanase simpletons, for example?

They give a clear reason, and I agree with it.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 8:44 pm NOTE; they are NOT taking away her Noble peace prize

At that time, she deserved the prize, and unless there's any evidence that the decision was mistaken, it should stand.
But the present may judge the past.

Re: Suu Kyi 'should have resigned'
It's obvious now that when she was nominated for the prize they only took into account her conduct from the past and not her future conduct.

but are to ashamed to admit it. She should be stripped of her Noble Peace Prize
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
