kim?mean, as you outline it there, the bravery we're seeing sin credible, but given the risks, i mean, why do the demonstrators keep coming back or do you think that this latest violence by police might change their resolve? >> they are taking huge, huge amount of risk, especially this day. we've seen so many lives being taken as a result the use of live ammunition. these protesters they want four main things. they want a restoration of their democracy, they want the release of aung san suu kyi. they want a reversal of the coup but fundamentally they want a return to the lives that they had before the coup took place. in the last ten years when aung san suu kyi was released from house arrest that was when sanctions eased and foreign direct investment poured into the country, new economic opportunity came into the country, internet and social media was introduced for the young generation there. this is why the protesters returned to the streets day after day risking their lives because of w

we're back with dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgurn.ning policy? is it clear to you? >> no, that's the point, it's not clear to anybody including jen psaki who incidentally, i'm sure, did not make up that policy last week when she announced it. but the question is what exactly is going on here, paul? it's very hard to comprehend. you know, struggling to open the public schools, the president won't insist that the unions comply. private, parochial, catholic schools have been open since august, no one has been dying. in florida ron desantis has had the public schools open since august. people, teachers are not dying down there. so something else seems to be going on. and i think, ultimately, it is about the money that the unions have this money inside the covid similar stimulus bill that the president insists on passing, and they just want if not merely tap into that short term, but long term to prop up their salaries ands if their pensions -- and their pensions in these roding urban systems. paul: kim, the president just doesn't seem wil
