Life under Myanmar's military government - 18 Sep 07

Evil tyrants can only rule when good men do nothing.Sometimes the peasants have to storm the castle.They need arms and will to fight tyanny and win back there country.

In my personal opinion I don't think no more peaceful dialouge's gonna work since even Mr. Gambari couldn't seem to convince the Junta to stop its evil doings. Now we know negotiation doesn't work with those demons so we have to take the real appropraite action. Check out the following link and sign for the petition to send out UN troops : petitiononline . com/untroops/petition . html

The UN will do nothing benefitial for this.
The UN isn't what it seems behind the curtains.

Gambari had no choice but to be tactful. He needed to get out alive. I think that the upmost important thing in his mind when he landed in Yangon. The rest are work-related.

queenie0106:

You like it or not. Free Burma Rangers have been there to protect civilians in Karen, Shan, and other states from systematic genocide!

History will repeat. No dictatorship can be stable forever, including China. There will be blood and death sooner or later. Just look at North Korea. More than 1 million citizens were starved to death.

You want to die with dignity or shame?

Without French Revolution, the so-called "West" would still be a hell hole!

queenie0106: I do see your point and I understand that but I had to side with noolympics comment. The Burmese constitutional guide lines passed last month bar anyone without army experience from holding high-office. The junta-450,000 soldiers. More than 1/3 of nation's budget is spent on this massive establishment. Military runs kindergartens, medical schools,technical schools, colleges, all are only open to its own personel. That had to change, it can't go on as is.

In such a situation I would opt for arms. However, these people are complete pacifists and won't react violently even in self defence. And we should respect their choice and beleifs

wrapped4: I understand your point. Then we should say "So long!" to the Buddhism now. If we are not going to help decent peoples on their behalf who will not fight back or kill their enemy, then what good are we? According to G.W Bush we are the enemy. That is only reason we are siding with Burmese junta. sign...We are not siding with Burmese for sure, the bottom line.

The Buddhists beleive that the sheer numbers and global presure on China are the solution. They are not just sitting there doing nothing but took the streets risking prison and their life. They just don't opt for violence.
Also, a small minority of Burmese Christian guerillas have took up arms and the Buddhists have absolutely no problem against them. THey just don't want to fight themselves.
