One idle afternoon, as I was resting on my cozy cushion, I was thinking about how and when Mr Devil would appear before me with his case!
There he appeared. He looked quite familiar. Tall, dark, handsome? (No, bad luck). He looked like a Bulldog (Guess he read my article on him, where I called him, that way). Outsiders who meet him say he can be friendly and engaging, but behind the smile of the old fox lies the heart of a cold, calculating military tactician. But, Burma's 56 million people like to paint the 74-year-old as an unreasonable tyrant driven by a mixture of greed, fear and superstition.
He is none other than Gen. Than Shwe. The one who is testing the might of the monks of Burma, no, Myanmar (as he calls it, or as the military junta calls it)
I guess Mr Devil had been watching me so long and this is probably a revenge against me. Uh! I hate you..
So, when I asked Mr Devil about what the case was, he says that I should argue for him, that is, against Aung San Suu Kyi.
Oh my god! How can I ever do that? I've been singing songs of praise on her and now, how do I argue against her? Isn't she the xaviour of the Burmese? Hmm, that's how it is for a lawyer. She has to argue even if she is against the case, but will I accept this one? reject it?
"There's no solution, Mr Devil. There's no use arguing against Suu Kyi, when the entire Burma is for her!
You will defenitely lose."
