Aung San Suu Kyi has suffered the worst possible fate for the professional protester. After spending years under house arrest in Burma, and becoming the darling of the world’s political luvvies, she is now her country’s figurehead.
She is now in office but not in power. Thus, when the real wielders of power; the Burmese military; start doing a spot of routine ethnic cleansing, all she can do is hunker in her bunker and pretend it’s not happening. Oh, dear! The Universe really does hate us!
