YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - To much of the world and many of their own citizens, Myanmar's military rulers are tyrants stubbornly standing in the way of democracy by refusing to hand over power to the political party of detained Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, which won a 1990 general election.
But they claim to be binding a fractious nation together and safeguarding against anarchy that could come from many contending ethnic groups. And they see themselves as paragons of development.
Myanmar's military rulers are at once both familiar faces and men of mystery.
