But get this..he did meet with the country's leading opposition figure, Aung San Suu Kyi! The idiots running the country actually let her leave the house where she has been under arrest, Suu Kyi has spent 12 of the last 18 years under house arrest. Her party won the last real elections held there..but they were never allowed to assume the reins of the government. The military mutha fuckas wouldn't allow THAT to happen..hell they have a good thing going there don't ya know? From the article linked above:On Sunday, the number of troops in Yangon, the largest city, swelled to about 20,000 after reinforcements arrived overnight, ensuring that almost all demonstrators would remain off the streets, an Asian diplomat said on condition of anonymity.
"The security forces are demonstrating their strength," he said. "I think the chance of protesters coming to the road and mobilizing enough people to topple the junta is zero."
A few monks were seen in a neighborhood on their customary morning round for alms.
"We are not going to protest any more. Rather we will conduct peaceful protests. We Buddhists believe that dhamma (Buddha's teachings) will finally win over evil," said one monk.
People suspected of leading or organizing this week's rallies continue to be arrested, the Asian diplomat said, estimating the total number could be as high as 1,000, including several prominent members of the NLD. They joined an estimated 1,100 other political detainees who have languished in jails since before the current turmoil began.
With the main prison overcrowded, people are now being detained in university buildings and educational institutes, he said.
Below is the bag of batshit that runs the country. His name is General Than Shwe. Real piece of work that sumbitch.
