  Bandit strongman and political illusionist Than Shwe will continue business as usual. The illussion of citizenship will continue but favor Burman. The illusion of Buddhism will continue but favor upper level Tat Ma Daw preferences. The elections will continue but will be sensored by Sa Ya Pha. As in the constitutional referendum, the illussion of “disciplined democracy” will continue. Many will not be suprised at the polls, however, to learn for the first time that they have previously voted, or to be given an already marked ballot to be placed in the “apprpriate” box. Uniforms in government may be exchanged for civilian garb, but the reigns of power will contnue in the hands of the “Great Illussionist.”

  Now not only release Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, but also making dirty tricks and treatment to her. Very close to release date for her house arrest and showing up US man swimming to her house. Today news of DASSK poor health and her family doctor detained. I think, all are well-planned by SPDC with U Than Shwe guidance. SPDC showing its true color?
