Laura Bush and the Land of Judson

The First Lady's Op-Ed about the conflict in Burma ends with a wonderful reminder that the pen is mightier than the sword. While I read the article I could not help but think of Adoniram Judson and His many sacrifices to bring freedom to the hearts of the people of the Golden Shore. I read his biography earlier this year and was deeply moved by the beauty of God's victory through those who sacrifice themselves to further His kingdom. Here is the ending by Mrs. Bush.

Meanwhile, the world watches--and waits. We know that Gen. Than Shwe and his deputies have the advantage of violent force. But Ms. Suu Kyi and other opposition leaders have moral legitimacy, the support of the Burmese people and the support of the world. The regime's position grows weaker by the day. The generals' choice is clear: The time for a free Burma is now.
