The very last directive of her party is for her assassination. That is a real possibility for her and she has once before come close to dying.
She is 65 years old and has carried the honor of her family for a long time. Everyone that knows her loves and admires her and at this point in her life that is the greatest asset she needs to carry forward.
Per political affiliations need to find a way to achieve prominence among the people and that is best done with peaceful meetings in places with small groups and multi-topic agendas, including aspects of the current regime they find acceptable.
The current leadership in the former Burma is simply waiting for the opportunity to aggressively confront the political parties that would see them removed from power. Given that as a reality, there is no one served if such events take place. Oppression in the former Burma is a known commodity to the world and its ridicule in an open and aggressive venue is fruitless. Global leaders need to address the needs and freedom of the people and seek to find a more democratic platform for their elections through trade and cultural exchanges.
Aung San Suu Kyi being an inspiration alive and well is more powerful than a jailed and oppressed leader. She can find time to write daily reflections and preserve her thoughts for others that care to read them some day in memoirs. I reflect on the Late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and her isolation in London for so many years. She was able to freely speak about her beloved Pakistan. She was targeted upon her return to Pakistan and her voice of advocacy silenced. She was able to hold in ridicule the Former President Bush and his affiliation with Musharraf and the elections being conducted in Pakistan to gain leverage to correct the path of a more democratic process. She was the leader of her people even though living so far away from them. She was a power woman all her life.

Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the few people able to best speak for her people and her thoughts are more important then her acting as a target of opposition.
