Happy birthday, Suu Kyi

Today is Aung San Suu Kyi's 62nd birthday. As has been the case 11 times in the last 18 years, she'll be celebrating alone, confined to her lakeside Rangoon home, isolated from everyone.

The world community is noting her birthday to the extent that virtually everyone who has any interest in the subject is calling for her release. Of course, nothing of the sort will happen. Her sentence was extended another year back in May, and will no doubt be extended again next year.

Well, happy birthday, Daw Suu Kyi. I don't know how you do it, but I pray that you do continue to "Walk On".
