Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma

[seniorthanshwe]

Tomorrow I will jail Aung San Suu Kyi for the sake of my family. Because if I release her , she will be threatening my family peace & quiet life and throne.

I don't want to do this but I have to listen my beloved wife Daw Kyaing Kyaing and my daughters.

Actually I am saving her life otherwise my family will kill her.

Therefore please understand the situation and forgive me.

Senior General Than Shwe

Military Chief

Nay Pyi Daw

[lamkachin]

We are Aung sun suu kyi !!! The United Nations is the great power of the patent? Why not help democracy in Myanmar, the Myanmar military government to release pressure on AUNG SUN SUU KYI? The United States is not a democratic country it Big Brother?

Free mrs.Aung Sun Suu Kyi

[tayza007]

Firstly, Than Shwe grandsons should be killed by hanging them or cut their throat on the street of Yangon. Than Shwe along with his family must see how they die and how much they suffer.

Daw Kyaing Kyaing should be hand or shot by police. Or she should be thrown from the top of Traders Hotels in front of his family.

Lastly, Than Shwe should be chopped every single part of him and let them give to dogs in front of him. He must be watch dogs are eating his balls.

So US is not evil for making a mass in Iraq or torturing war prisoners in Guantanamo? Ignorant, arrogant Americans who always only see one side of things and never look at what they have done to other people and countries. "We have found weapons of mass destruction" FUCK YOU! I hope Walmart goes bankrupt too. We'll see what that would do to the US economy and its lazy employees.

China is hindering the foreign aid support to reach the citizens of Burma. China supports the current junta government composed of Communist military officials who took power by force. Burmese people need immediate help.

[li4th2009]

i don't understand why would china support that military government?

.......i mean china will get no profit from that....unless chinese government is stuipid

[youngstunnar1]

chinese gets burmese timber, natural gas, and other natural resources. in return, burma gets to purchase chinese military hardware. China will always support burma so long as there's shit to be mined, chopped, piped. got it?

[maungwto]

THANKS

[hlwanmoe1981]

to get democracy in Burma, firstly international community must stop the China government to support the Burma Military Government. And then Ban from Security Council. China government is most terrible government in the World. Let's Boycott Olympics.

[XxVeGaNjUsTiCexX]

Aung San Suu Kyi is my hero...everybody can sign the petiton, it only takes like 5 seconds of your time...Free Burma.

[brendanlovesbeer]

If america can make a profit, will go there....sad but true....its been like that for 137 years

[maxkonal]

it is rather easy, send trained agents to birma and eliminate key politicians of the government hindering an elected woman come into power. it is done in other cases, why not chosing such a promising task

[divpatel77]

I don't believe trained agents eliminating key government official will solve the problem. The current junta government is supported by China. China has tremendous influence in Burma. Therefore, eliminating certain individuals would lead to China picking new leaders to replace the eliminated ones. The key issue is to get China to stop supporting the Burmese junta government, which will never happen because these individuals are supporters of Chinese political ideology.

[j0hnx777]

I wish you peace and success and all your ambitions in Burma Aung San Suu Kyi.  I can only give you my personal, emotional, and financial support at this time. May God be with you brave freedom fighter.

You know, thegeek100, your first suggestion might just work:). Hug a Burmese soldier today, for god's sake.

kelbale said "You know, thegeek100, your first suggestion might just work:). Hug a Burmese soldier today, for god's sake". You guys have no idea that these soldiers have been brainwashed and also intimidated about the repercussion they would face had they stop doing the only thing they know how to do:Brutalizing the civilians. And you have no idea that the soliders sent to different areas of Burma are recruited and trained for specific purposes.

[thegeek100]

Exactly how do you suggest we "Free Burma" Michael? Diplomacy clearly can't work as proven by recent shutdowns of all outside access to the country? I know, lets all hug Burmese soldiers until they agree to stop murdering monks and civilians. Or we can all pose nude for a picture at some downtown intersection!

[mingalabaa]

thegeek100, At least Michael is exposing the suffering in Burma unlike you. Sanction would work if combined withj US not turning a blind eye of China's contribution of human rights in Burma. US (and the western world) can start by boycotting the Olympic in China. But as you know, self-interest won't make them dot he ethical thing.

[caa1000]

Where watching the Burma's ability to fight for freedom, yet the crazy junta kills the ones that fight it. Stop the violence in Burma!

[rockaboi]

Aung San Suu Kyi deserves justice! What an amazing woman.
