Burmese Military says Suu Kyi should be beaten like a child

The Burmese junta has justified its detention of the democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and wanted her to be beaten like a badly behaved child.

Suu Kyi, the detained head of the National League for Democracy, was labeled a threat to national security by government newspapers... whose views are thought (I think pretty well known) to reflect those of the military rulers.

The government paper is said to have reported that the 62-year-old has threatened state security and deserves to be beaten like a "naughty child". "Myanmar is not the only country that promulgates the laws to prevent those who pose a danger to the state," The Telegraph quoted the newspaper, as saying. "If necessary to guard the motherland and safeguard the lives and prosperity of the people, every government has to promulgate laws and impose restrictions," it said.....

TO GUARD THE MOTHERLAND AND SAFEGUARD THE LIVES AND PROSPERITY OF THE PEOPLE???...

That should be statement enough for the rest of the world to enter the country and take the military regime out of power.
They have been murdering their people for decades.
They wouldn't let in outside aid after the cyclone, leaving their people die.
They have been video taped beating peaceful protesters and monks.
The list goes on and on...

There is no prosperity for the people of Burma. I do wonder if the propaganda distributed by the junta is believed by anyone.
