OPENED LETTER TO MR. GEORGE W. BUSH, MR BAN KI-MOON AND ALL LEADERS OF THE WORLD


DEAR MR. GEORGE W. BUSH, MR BAN KI-MOON AND ALL LEADERS OF THE WORLD
I have written this letter in regards to current political situation of Myanmar.


First I would like to thank you on behalves of all brave people of Myanmar for taking your valuable time to read this.


I am sure you have heard and seen most of the stuff that is currently going on in Myanmar so I will not bore you with a long story.


What media is still not telling the world is that people of Myanmar are now in the great hope for your help and the help of UN.


They have no one else to turn to and their own army is killing them brutally.


And since all their leaders were secretly detained without any warrant, people and sangas are leading the very dangerous demonstration by themselves without proper leadership.


That is exactly what that government wants. They are creating fake chaos activities with their own people impersonating as sangas and civilians in order for them to tell the world that they are just controlling the situation.


Please Mr. Bush and the UN, all the starving and abused people of Myanmar are crying for your help now. I’ve been contacted by many kids from the streets of Myanmar to ask United States and UN to take actions to protect their lives.


Please do not look into this manner as a simple foreign political issue.


What Myanmar is going through now is the crime against human rights.


If you can help in the Middle East issues where people are killing each other using guns, you should absolutely help our people with their bare hands, who are being tortured and shot to death on the city streets and in their own homes.


We understand you have sent a few sanctions to Myanmar Juntas before but they always lied as if they would correspond but ignored to the whole world.


Even thou they have began to communicate with UN now, yet they are still giving orders to shoot the peaceful sangas and innocent people on the streets.


Please help us Mr. Bush, Mr. Ban Ki-moon and all leaders of the world,


We have no weapons or protections.


Please…..


Give us a right to live freely.


With all due respect


People Of Myanmar

Myanmar: Soldiers back down in Mandalay
Soldiers from #33 Battalion knelt down and requested the protesting monks to stop the protest.
Monks from Mandalay monasteries including those from “ThaTaNa” monk college marched for protest and were blocked at 42nd street by soldiers of #33 battalion.
Many of the monks replied, “You may shoot but we will still march”, and carried on with their marches.
The soldiers knelt down, shed tears and finally they stepped down to let the monks go, reported the witnesses from Mandalay.

I'd feel a bit crass saying Murst! on such a serious topic, so I won't say Murst!

Sadly, for most of us in the US, "stop buying products made in China" means "stop buying things". Even when you can tell the country of origin, it can be difficult or impossible to find a non-chinese alternative for a lot of things. We've outsourced our manufacturing to China so much that a boycott is no longer really possible.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, they have no oil reserves so we probably won't liberate them. Sorry to be so crass, but unless the PTB smells nuclear weapons or a profit they don't do anything but jaw bone. They need a resistance movement. Pacifism does not work on juntas with no conscience.

Not true, actually. They have some oil and gas reserves, however, they're in China's back yard rather than ours.

True, but I do think that American consumers tend to buy things they don't really need and might want to reconsider whether they really need some extraneous product made in China.
@Edgar,
Yes, the U.S. doesn't have the economic interest in Burma that it has with Iraq, but this would be an opportunity for the U.S. to re-establish some of the international respect it had before the Bush Admin destroyed it.

It worked in India - to a certain extent.

If that ain't the truth. Not to pass judgment, but I rode my bike through a trailer park shortcut yesterday, and almost every one of the trailers had plastic toys and stuff everywhere. I guarantee you most of those people should not have spent their money so frivolously.

Yes, but even in Britain's imperial days they had some modicum of regard for their subjects and for morality. Not much, but enough.
