Clinton spent most of Sunday dealing with the situation in Syria and the fate of its leader, so the landmark election in Burma is a reminder that even most oppressive governments can reform and closed societies can open. She told a news conference in Turkey that she holds hope for the people of Burma, also known as Myanmar.
