A helpless saint

Nobel prize-winner Aung San Suu Kyi is effectively prime minister of Burma and the darling of luvvie politicians all over the world. But she cannot control her country’s army. As a result, when the army starts a massacre of Burma’s minority Moslems, as she can manage is to default to the standard position of the powerless politician: denial. It’s fake news, nothing is happening; that’s all she can say as she lets the Burmese army drive the Moslems in to Bangladesh to make them someone else’s problem.
