I must say this. Aung San Suu Kyi was mainly raised and educated in western countries, and her sensitivity to humanity is great. We can see that. We can hear that. We can sense that.

I think she could not be Abraham Lincoln, because society is very different in Burma. It is not a society like Abraham Lincoln had here. She would have to come to power completely, not just with 47 members in Parliament.
