Aung San Suu Kyi released

YANGON, Myanmar -- Pro-democracy hero Aung San Suu Kyi walked free Saturday after more than seven years under house arrest, welcomed by thousands of cheering supporters outside the decaying lakefront villa that has been her prison.

Aung is another of the world's great non-violent opposition leaders working for major structural change of the polity of her soc+ety.   The Myanmar junta released her becawz internationally the country was sanctioned by an extremely bad reputation, a fate bitterly annoying to the handful of generals with real power in Burma.

Aung is correctly caled the pro-democracy leader.  "If we work in unity, we will achieve our goal."
