    ASSK is the daughter of Bogyoke Aung San and Daw Khin Kyi, a
thoroughbred Myanmar , much more so than Ne Win  who probably has
Chinese
blood in his veins. She doesn't become English just by marrying an
Englishman, in as much as Ne Win did not become a mixed breed by
marrying
Yadanarnatmei (of 'royal' descent , but actually a product of several
races).

In the same vein, Sonia Gandi is still an Italian by birth , though she
may be an Indian in heart.  This did not prevent her from becoming a
leader
of the congress party of India. She became a leader not by her own
choice,
or just because she is Rajieve's widow , it was because she could not
resist
the will of  millions of Indians. It is right and proper to judge an
individual on their own merits rather than their race or who they are
married to.

ASSK did not become a leader of Myanmar by her own choice , or because
she is Aung San's daughter. Circumstances led her to see the plight of
the
Burmese people first hand , who were suffering horribly under the brutal

military regime. This injustice inflicted on her own people she could
not
ignore. Like the true leader she is , she sacrificed her life and limb
to
free her motherland from tyranny , oppression and injustice. At present
she
is the only credible leader in the country. It would be a great loss to
our
country if we were to lose her in any way, by fair means or foul.

Personal attacks against ASSK and many NLD members by SLORC/SPDC either
physically or verbally in the state controlled media are  totally
immoral
and unjustified. Hopefully, things will turn out better for Burma in the

near future. Our people has suffered enough.

If Bo Khin Nyunt is in control of the army , he will know what to do to
save
the country from further deterioration.
He is an educated man, who I hope loves his country as much
as ASSK does.
