(In a troubling portent, official approval of last May's constitutional referendum was tabulated at a credulity-straining 92.4%.) But the query put to me recently in the nation's teahouses got to the heart of a fundamental political dilemma: Is an election, even one that surely will be as flawed as Burma's promises to be, better than nothing at all?
