The junta can do worse than releasing and working with Aung San Suu Kyi, who still has sufficient status and appeal to rally public support for a peaceful transfer of power to civilian rule and, in due course, to a democratic government. It may be morally repulsive to allow the junta’s members to retire with their ill-gotten gains, but any alternative will exact a dramatically higher price from Burma’s people.
但是最终，危机只能在缅甸内部解决。军政府如果不想让事情更糟的话，也许可以把昂山素季释放出来与她进行合作，后者依然拥有足够的地位和号召力获得公众的支持让政权和平过渡到平民执政，再经过一定的过程，过渡到民主政府。允许军政府的成员可以带着他们非法积聚的财物退休在道义也许令人难以接受，但是任何替代方案都将会使缅甸的百姓付出高得惊人的代价。
