Aung San Suu Kyi -- Happy belated birthday


19 June is Aung San Suu Kyi's birthday.

BBC Documentaries did a session on the eve of her birthday, worth listening. It is available here



"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. "

--Aung San Suu Kyi 1990
