Undesirable Political Gridlock betw (r)

Dear Julien,

 
On the contrary, the invitation itself was obviously highly conditional, 
one-sided and unfair for the NLD. So, for these reasons, the NLD had 
turned down the offer. They should not playdown the seriousness of this 
type of meeting at all for goodness sake. Besides, it was not the first 
time that the SPDC had pursued the same type of contact. It was 
regretable that there was no sign of progress from the side of SDPC in 
this aspect. The regime must not try to brush away the problems and 
decide to deal with them when things started to get out of hand.

( We are sure that SPDC would feel the same, if NLD exclude Khin Nyunt 
out of the planned meeting and ask Senior General Than Shwe to meet 
anyone of the CEC member of the NLD party as a frist contact. So, let's 
be honest.)

To be fair and sincere, any planned meeting should not have any 
preconditions and a clear agenda of the meeting should be clearly spelt 
out so that both parties are well prepared. Any invitation for the 
meeting of this nature should be made public and transparent.

The gravity of the situations in Burma so grave that we no longer need 
for further in depth analysis now. The truth is, the economy is failing 
and voilation of human rights are at its peak in Burma and the SPDC has 
lost all its credibilty within the country. Meet the call for an 
unconditional dialogue with the NLD or face the consequences of the 
ultimatum to convene the parliament before August 21, given to the SPDC 
by the NLD. 

It is now facing unprecedented peaceful, non-violent protests and 
rejections inside the country, within the ASEAN grouping and also from 
the world's community at large. Though outright rejection or 
interference from the ASEAN had not been made, it won't be long before 
it came. ( NOTE: All ASEAN nations have shown their supports when 
President Suharto stepped down and gave up his power not so long ago. 
While they are bound to their non-interference policy, they were not 
hesitent to show their supports when certain timely and right political 
transitions were in the making. )

Let the unconditional, sincere and fair tripartite talks begin.

In soliderity with the NLD's movements,
