Coup d'Etat in Myanmar: All over for democratic transition?

What now for Myanmar?  Where it is back to power for the junta that never quite went away when it handed over to civilian rule five years ago. And back to jail or house arrest for Aung Sang Suu Chi and leaders of the Nobel peace laureate's National Democratic League. The NDL which was just coming off a landslide win in a general election marked by 70-percent turnout. Why now for a power grab that depending on how it plays out, will show the extent or limits of popular support through the ballot box in one of Asia's poorest nations. We ask about the forces at play. Both domestically and abroad.
