Aung San Suu Kyi is 65 today. Today she will spend her day as she has spent the last 15 years - under house arrest. And yest she remains a potent force in Burma. The Lady terrifies dictator Than Shwe the verminous rabble that run the country.
One day they will be gone. I hope the Lady will live to see the day.
Yesterday the Guardian published photos of her life before her return to Burma.
Click here to see early photos of her and her late husband Michael Aris and her children. It throws her current state into sharp relief.

Sue, Lorna she is one of my heroes too
She is beautiful even now James
I'm tired about what we're NOT doing to free Burma, and the great Lady.
bsolutely right Claudia
The following does not mean I don't appreciate your post (and those many of others), Jams:
I am with Claudia.
Remember 'Free Burma'?!!
She is an amazing woman.
Sadly so Sean
She is Cherie
The photos of her life in happier times are beautiful; it's sad to compare them with the fear, hatred and oppression that surround her today.
That is true, Stan
