I have just come across
Aung San Suu Kyi's contribution to the
UN Development Programme's
Human Development Report for 2002 entitled "
Deepening Democracy in a Fragmented World" and thought I would post it on Earth-Info.Net...
"
At a time when the world is preoccupied with the menace of terrorism, it is worth considering that people who feel deprived of control over their lives - necessary for a dignified life - are liable to search for fulfillment along the path of violence. Merely providing them with a certain material sufficiency is not enough to win them over to peace and unity. Their potential for human development has to be realized and their human dignity respected so that they can gain the skills and confidence to build a world strong and prosperous in harmonious diversity."

Kofi Annan, Bono + the President of Senegal...
