Burma..Myanmar. Maybe a good example who a dictatorship can be a pathway to democracy without a new violent revolution. Another case where brutal dictators kept even worse guys under control and got the wheels back on.
Not a PC route, but one that seems to have worked in Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore and somewhat Thailand.
AS for Zero’s visit..he is just taking a victory lap for something he had nothing to do with. I’m sure he will get in some licks about the persecuted muslim minorities in the very Buddhist country.
He should be at home in conference with the Congress..but travel is more fun.
