What does Burma have to give the United States? We can give you the opportunity to engage with people who are ready and willing to change a society.
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.

Frankly, if you do politics, you should not be thinking about your dignity.
