@xxxdieselyyy --------2-------->The Monks NEVER got a SINGLE thrashing by anyone, only the common citizen of Myanma got it. They just sort of instigated and when they came face 2 face w/ a junta troop the monk would just go "shanti shanti" and the soldier would just sort of tell him to congregate his m8s in 1 place that's it.

But 4 civilian, punches, kicks, jails, who knows what else horrors. If those monks were of ANY virtutre they'd have demanded same fate as those they instigate and led.

@eihy ---------->I respect Buddhism as a religion all versions of it, and all faiths and concepts generally, but I don't appreciate the Buddhist Monks. They a socio-religious POLITICAL group.

I haven't forgot the anti Muslim riots in Mandalay in 1998, Monks were the LEADERS of it, and Twongoo town Masjid demolition Monks were demanding it in return 4 taiban idiots demolishing a Bamiyan Statue of Buddha in Afghanistan.

This time they tried to play their "religion" against their own masters

We need to end the sanction, the Sanction is only aiding the wealth of the Tyrants and increase the gap between the poor and the riches in Burma.

@xxxdieselyyy Interesting point of view, I also agree that it is a little uneasy for me to see the monks parading down the street, not that I disagree with their point of view, but introducing the element of religion complicate the situation.

The tyranny of Myanmar needs to go down, but it has nothing to do with Gods (or Buddha's) Wells,
