    The government should free Suu Kyi and hold a general election but I doubt they would do that at the moment. Well, miracles may still happen if the people get involved personally and pray for divine intervention just like during the EDSA revolution of 1986.

  To free her immediately and the general should leave politics to politicians.

   They should relax; stop killing the monks and stop killing the people. It’s very easy. Whether they will do it is a different question. I think for the time being they will not. They feel secure where they are. Nobody is challenging them seriously enough. I think the international sentiment is correct. It’s the Chinese who will have to move to change their position and I hope they do.

     The government of Burma is an evil repressive government. They will not free her. What we can mostly expect is that they will not keep her safe. The world should continue to exert efforts to depose the entire government of Burma

     Get out of where they are and convert to democracy and let people decide who they want to rule the country.

   That’s [freeing Aung San Suu Kyi] the least they could do. They should also start the process of democratization even if slowly, and listen to the needs and worries of their people.

Former Senator

     They cannot keep hiding their heads from the sun like an ostrich. They should accept the fact that they must reform. The Burmese people are protesting and the government should recognize that they can no longer suppress the people’s feelings. Me, I support the Burmese people.
