Myanmar's old guard under pressure after Suu Kyi win Posted: 04 Apr 2012 10:00 PM PDT YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's ruling party, created by the military, says it must re-think strategy after by-election victories for the party of Aung San Suu Kyi who has raised suspicion in the ranks by suggesting the generals will need to withdraw from politics.
