The post that was quoted here has been removedYes I remember the lauding of her in most media outlets and the heralding of a brave new dawn when she was released and gained ‘power’. It’s obvious now that she only shone in juxtapose to a military junta and any ‘power’ was dependant on the acquiescence of that junta.
The post that was quoted here has been removedShe probably was given the information available to her, hindsight is a wonderful thing, at the time. But the fact that she’s just another pragmatic player in the brutal game means I personally don’t much care either way about her individual fate. Also it’s proof if it’s needed that democracy based on the acquiescence of a military junta isn’t democracy at all.
