Sacrificing Democracy In The Name Of Religion

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Goes On Trial

This has been in the news for a few days. Do religious zealots get any stupider?

I first read about Suu Kyi when I was in college, and thought she was a pretty brave woman (or at least in some way knew what she was doing) to undergo house arrest in the name of democracy and freedom, even after she had been given the option to leave Burma.

I hope something good comes out of all of this.
