Khaleej Times Online: Ordeal of a Nobel winner

In a commentary for the Khaleej Times, Mohammed A.R. Galadari notes the 60th birthday of Aung San Suu Kyi, who has spent much of her life fighting for democracy in Myanmar (Burma). And, at the end of this piece he says:
Dear readers, George Bush has now become the champion of democracy around the world, and his deputy Condoleezza Rice the campaigner for that cause. Myanmar must get their due attention in this campaign. The super power should help make the success of Suu Kyi in Myanmar an example for the rest of the world to follow, especially those in the Middle East, or anywhere else in the third world. By making Myanmar's freedom and democracy movement a success story, Bush can make others confident of the chances of their success in their respective countries.
My goodness, what times we live in.
