Aung San Suu Kyi: Bob Geldof Acts

This Blog fully endorses Bob Geldof’s action in returning his Freedom to Dublin in protest at the conduct of his fellow freeman, Aung San Suu Kyi. The fact that this peace Ikon stands silent while her military conduct ethnic cleansing on a massive scale, reveals just have mistaken the world has been in ascribing near sainthood to this ruthless, self-centered politician, about whom I held the gravest suspicions from the beginning of her projection onto the world stage. There were moments when I felt that perhaps I had judged her too harshly. Those moments are gone.

All over the world her honours are being cancelled and withdrawn and rightly so. At one level her acquiescence to these atrocities is almost more shocking to the many world figures, who for long worshiped at her feet, than the atrocities themselves. Nevertheless this dreadful military campaign leading to an unprecedented diaspora, has created a humanitarian crisis in which the world at large, once again, will have to come forward and pick up the pieces. Her pieces.
