I am so encouraged by developments in Burma. The military government seems to be gradually letting go. They allowed 45 by-elections to go forward - not enough to control parliament, but enough to create a base for the previously banned opposition.
And the great news: Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nelson Mandela of Burma, was elected to parliament, and her party won 40 of the 45 seats.
We may see a free Burma within a few years. And if President Aung San Suu Kyi tells me to call the country Myanmar, I will happily comply.
