There will be no sense in sending a peacekeeping force after widespread bloodshed. Action is required, and it is required immediately. The international community and an ad hock " like-minded coalition " of regional interests, must engage the military junta to prevent further catastrophe. Calling for dialogue has reached its practical zenith or limitations. Burma has become a test case for ascertaining the sovereignty of people in contradistinction to sovereignty of State..."
