Sing It Sister

Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest since May 2003. -BBC

We could use more sisters like Aung San Suu Kyi. Many more. Under house arrest since 2003 for the crime of winning an election (yikes!), today Ms. Suu Kyi was paid a visit by Ibrahim Gambari, the UN Under Secretary for Political Affars. Ms. Suu Kyi, you see, is trying to democratically (read: peacefully) take down Burma's ruling military junta. Compare that with this.

[Update: It looked as though Ms. Suu Kyi would soon be a free woman, but it was not to be.]
