I don't want to sound pessimistic but knowing the crafty ways of the military, Aung San Suu Kyi will discover that the calm at the center of the storm she saw was merely a " mirage " in a desert named Burma. Thein Sein's so-called civilian government needs a lot of " PR " and propaganda to achieve their goal of chairing ASEAN and for the West to lift their sanctions and that is exactly what they are doing., using her as a diode and catalyst. Another thing is that Aung San Suu Kyi represents only the NLD and some part of the ethnic Burmese population. She has never represented the rest of all other ethnic groups and I doubt if she ever will.
