September 28th, 2007 at 7:10 amWho let the Democrats have their own country? I don’t remember giving them permission to put their policy ideas into practice in Burma, do you?
And what is the U.N. going to do? Answer: NOTHING!! For when you have corrupt official running the U.N. taking their orders from their Masters (petty dictators from their country) what do you expect! If Japan is smart they should cut all trade and diplomatic ties. Then shut down Burma Embassy and let Burmese protester have it so they have a place to start and exile democratic government. Those who do not stand against petty kings and dictators are doomed to live in repression and fear.
September 28th, 2007 at 7:14 amThats what the dems would like to do to many of us if they could get away with it.
September 28th, 2007 at 7:15 amOkay, Please forgive my ignorance here … What is the political affiliation of Burma? Are they under the Chi-Com rule?
Also, absolutely incredible the man still tried to “get the shot” while on his back and dying himself … Damn!

I think that the birman population is fed up of its military government
the buddhist monks started the revolt, and according to what I have read, China is trying to calm the conflict down ; it’s not anyone interest that this conflict get generalized. some moderated militaries are willing to push the country into more democraty, but it needs some times ; it’s a bit alike former Pinochet government in Chile
September 28th, 2007 at 9:22 am“Principal oil companies Chinese CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC profit from large contracts for the production and the development of hydrocarbon layers in Burma. But the agreement, signed last January between CNPC and the Burmese of Energy, bearing ministry on the construction of a pipeline of 2.380 km between the deep water port of Sittwe and the Chinese city of Kunming, is even more important. In April, the Chinese commission on the development and the reform approved the releasing of more than one billion dollar for construction of a supposed parallel gas pipeline to transport nearly 56 billion cubic meters of gas per annum. The construction of these two conduits will allow the tankers coming from the Middle East and Africa to discharge their hydrocarbons directly with Sittwe and to thus avoid passing by the narrow strait of Malacca. This is why the Chinese leaders spare the Burmese mode for a long time: Peijing supplies Burma with weapons and, according to certain information, even plans to install a naval base there. Russia has it also economic interests in this country of Southeast Asia. Last May, Atomstroyexport signed an agreement on the construction of a center of nuclear studies in Burma. The Russian companies Zarubezhneft, Itera and Silver Wave Sputnik Petroleum (related to the leaders of the Russian republic of Kalmoukie) carry out their prospection of black gold on the Burmese continental shelf. In 2001, Burma bought 15 Mig-29 Russian hunters (nearly 150 million dollars) and currently continues talks with Rosoboronexport on the construction of a system of air defense on the basis of missile Tor-M1 and Bouk-M1-2. “If democratic forces arrive at the capacity, any door to believe that they will be directed towards the United States. And if the interests of Peijing seem guaranteed by an enormous Chinese diaspora and the proximity of the borders, Moscow does not have to hope to continue the co-operation on the same level “, estimated Alexeï Kiritchenko, specialist in Burma at the Institute in the countries in Asia and Africa near the Lomonossov university in Moscow.”
