Looking at my beloved country I recollect Mikhail Sergeyevich
Gorbachev, the last Komissar of the Soviet Union
who tried his level best to save the Communist system through long-necessary
reforms, as what the Burmese regime is doing now in releasing hundreds of
political prisoners. It also catches two birds with a stone in placating the maximum impression on European and American diplomats
and "human rights" organizations to lift their punitive sanctions
which they so crave in order to legalize their personal wealth. Not that I am predicting that Daw Aung San Suu
Kyi will be the Boris Yektsin of Burma as she has famously put it:
"It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts
those who wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are
subject to It." but because the system of the dictatorial regime is
rotting beyond repair and is crumbling.
