To those people whose closes with me know that Aung San Suu Kyi is my idol apart of Jude Law J I was reading “The Star” newspaper today about Hollywood stars launch video campaign for Aung San Suu Kyi. I found it very interesting.
For me, Aung San Suu Kyi is the True Prime Minister of Myanmar. One of her most dramatic speeches was in 1995. In her speech, she said, “To the best of my knowledge, no war was ever started by women. But it is women & children who always suffered most in situation of conflict.”

 

When I read her son speech; Alexander Aris on behalf of Aung San Suu Kyi on the occasion of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, December 10, 1991…my tears fall down. She sacrifice her own happiness & comfortable life so that through her struggle, she might win the light of an entire nation to seek happy & comfortable life. This show she is selflessness. I can never be like her. She’s amazing women and I adore her.

 

Next month will be her 63rd birthday. Wasn’t it brilliant to see Aung San Suu Kyi alive and well outside her house?

Name a country to arise from the collective goodwill and mutual understanding of each other? Hmm…… no, the normal story is one group wants to seperate from another or take in another.

Every group that wants it’s own country, can’t have one. You earn statehood through war…. generally speaking and more often then not civil war/ethnic or religious separation. Let’s just cut off South Thailand, Aceh in Indonesia, Papua in Indonesia, South Phills,Tibet, Xinjiang. Yes, lets all just celebrate with all our new countries because all these areas have gribs to their larger nations.So No, no Tibet Independence, they have not earned it.
