It's official: Myanmar's military was defeated in free elections

• http://www.globalpost.com, Peter Gelling

That means, for the first in some 25 years, Myanmar's military won't be running the country. It's a massive shift for a country that not too long ago was as isolated as North Korea.

Suu Kyi is expected to meet with the current military rulers next week. And the NLD will choose a new president in January. But first, the current parliament will have one last session, and it's going to be really interesting to see what happens. Most of the lawmakers were voted out of office. So they have nothing to lose as they work to pass new laws in the coming months. As the BBC puts it, in its BBC way: "… this could be an opportunity for all manner of consequence-free political skulduggery."
