I would have laughed my tonsils off upon reading this front page news on the Inquirer. Ordinarily, I would find some sick humor on the headline but for the tragic fact that Aung San Suu kyi has been languishing in a “house arrest" for years.
Allow me here to quote direct statements attributed to her excellency:
–(gma said) “dialogue and compromise should be an ongoing process.”
–“We (Asean leaders) called for the release of those placed under detention and for the effective dialogue with all parties concerned.”
– “If the government of Myanmar would let us, we are willing to play a role in alleviating the humanitarian problems faced by Myanmar.”
Now, back to reality.
I do not know whether snakes deserve their unpopularity for having forked tounges. I do know though politicians deserve all the hate they get for having one.
It stretches my wits to the limit to try to understand this snake cum politician called gloria. How she can have the cheek to demand Myanmar’s junta release Suu Kyi but she can’t see the glaring fact she is committing exactly the same crime against Congresman Crispin Beltran, I honestly, truly, clearly can not ever know. (Suu Kyi is kept inside a house; Ka Bel is incarcerated inside a small hospital room.) From what I read, Suu Kyi’s detention is unjust. From what I know, Ka Bel’s confinement is inhumane.
And Ka Bel is only one of hundreds of political prisoners in this hard luck country. From the time gloria became president, hundreds have been summarily executed; hundreds have disappeared forcibly; and the 86 odd millions of us Pinoys have been cheated by gloria in the last elections.
To these, I say: If the government of gloria arroyo would let us (the people), we are willing to play a role in alleviating the humanitarian problems faced by the Philippines.
We could just arrest her, keep her in the slammer and throw away the key.
