@myat001 ----------I hate this government from my heart & blood!!-------->VERY hard to find a case where people like their government :) I mean....to be frank, Indian leaders steal more from Indian public than do Myanmar leaders do.....did u kno we are the number one depositor to Swiss Bank accoreing to Swiss? We got like 1100 billion dollars stashed up in Swiss ever since 1990. That is enough to buy California... And we're not even a military junta....

@herdsman59 --------Why are western nations fighting for oil in Iraq while a tyranny like the Burmese military junta are allowed to flourish?-------->Afghanistan has a pipeline route for oil, Iraq has a lot of petrol. What does Myanmar got? ? ?

ANd NATO forces only attack armies that are dilapedating and are ready 2 surrender. Myanmar Tatmadaw is not ready 2 surrender and is not dilapedated. NATO forces after Vietnam war typically don't engage a determined foe like da Tatmadaw.

More sanctions on Military Junta. PPL are already poor. Profit never goes to ppl before.

More economic sanctions to make those pigs go to hell. Oversea ppl do not look down on the honest poor. They only look down on the Military Junta who steal the national wealth.

No more economic sanction to Burma!

"Provide Burmese civilians arms to fight against the EVIL Burmese dictator and the Chinese communists.

Support Free Burma Rangers"

i agree with u all the way till the last part about free burma ranger. how can u be so sure that they will make burma better place. u can free burma if we fight yes... wat if after the fight u won't get free burma but a broken burma, 14 different section. sad to say but the only way to have free burma is to take burma as whole.

China has already made a statement to resolve this peacefully(yeah). How about India and Russia? These are the top 3 investors in Myanmar. The USA should check with Chevron Oil, they've been there a decade and we did set Sanctions against the Junta after they massacrued 3,000 protesters 17 yrs. ago!

Yes, there is oil there, but not as much as Iraq!

I fear for the Monks and Aung San Soo Kyi.

I suggest that we boycott all Chinese goods and also the Olympics in China. If no athletes nor visitors went to the Olympics, that would make a difference!

We don't need bloody medals or goods.

We can show the Burmese people that they are not alone.

lol... no matter what the US does or doesn't do, it will always be wrong. Right? This is Chinas backyard.. and US intervention isnt that simple.
