Suu Kyi? Who is she?

Remember Suu Kyi? The woman of Myanmar who was put under house arrest by the military junta? 

Oh, that woman, the opposition politician. She won the election but was put under house arrest fifteen years ago, wasn’t she? Why, what is she doing now? Retired from politics and living happily in some remote corner of Myanmar, I suppose. 

  No, that’s where you are wrong. She is still confined to the house.

What? Fifteen years and still confined? What is UN doing? 

What has it done? It talked a lot! Why, yes. It has talked and talked. And will talk some more. United Nations is a place for people to talk. It is a place where people can show off their talking prowess. 

 Sure looks that way. One of these days some leaders may ask, “Suu Kyi? Who is she?” 

Ya, such a sad fate for Nobel Peace Prize winner. And the Nobel Prize has turned into a worthless award. It couldn’t get her freedom, just as the UN could not. UN – Useless Negotiations.
