((If GW Bush and his neo-koshercon-jacked pirate administration had
balls the size of raisins for international democracy, he'd invade
Myanmar and kick the junta in the ass. That would-if not necessarily
particularly justifiable in terms of American interests- be 100 times
more feasible, 100 times more likely to succeed, than this so called
pro-democracy Iraqi bull***. The Burmese are far more capable of
running a government than the Iraqis, for whom self-government means
separation or sharia and likely both-Bret.)
Aung San Suu Kyi 'Not Satisfied' With Burmese Military Talks

Rangoon, Burma (AHN) - Burmese detained pro-democracy leader Aung San
Suu Kyi is "not satisfied" by recent discussion with the country's
military leaders, party spokesperson said.
Suu Kyi made the statement during a rare meeting with top members of
her National League for Democracy (NLD) party.
The Nobel peace prize winner was taken this afternoon from her
lakeside villa on Rangoon's University Avenue, where she has spent 12
of the past 18 years under house arrest, to the meeting venue.
She was taken from her home in an official convoy to a military
facility, where she met for about 90 minutes with eight NLD officials,
and then for 45 minutes with the junta's liaison officer, according to
the party spokesman Nyan Win.
Labor Minister of Burma, officially known as Myanmar, Aung Kyi was
appointed to negotiate with Suu Kyi amid the global outrage which
followed the deadly crackdown on political protestors in September
2007.
The spokesman also read out a statement from Aung San Suu Kyi, who
said she cherished her supporters' sacrifices and urged the public to
remain patient. "So far we have not received any clear message from
the government," she said in the statement.
The meeting, which came as a surprise, is the second such permitted
gathering since the Burmese democracy icon was last detained in May
2003.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi previously met party leaders on November 9,2007.
