Conspiracy of conservatives and communists in Military:

A group of military generals in Burma are trying to ruin our own country.
They do not want progressive change in Burma. They do not want Burma for a
peaceful transition. They do not want to share the power, and they want
military to be  dominated politics in Burma as a tradition. They do not want
to
resolve the issues with others. Even in China, changes are gradual, learning
toward a open and democratic society, and government promotes the young
generation and  many intellectuals to involve in politics.

As we know, the tension in Burma is rising,  and the country is in
crisis. We can obviously see the current economic and political situation
inBurma.
Infact, this tension is pushing to  price unstability in all goods and
services,
super highway inflation ( $ 1=400 kyats ), lack of  money supply, lower
production power, no economic activities, unbalance export and import
situation, a weak  infrastructure ( don't compare 1998 with 1962, compare
with
neighbour countries. Don't look at your own room, look at your outside what
they have ), higher unemployment rate, and lower percent of Health and
Education expenditure (compare with military expenditure), no political
equality and  no economic security  in Burma.

The only reason is conservative ideologies of military Generals ARE SOLOWING
DOWN social changes inBurma that technological advances are promoting.  The
army has dominated politics in Burma since its independence in the 1940s,
and
Generals who were holding the power  did not support the right of self-
determination in the choice of ideology and social system. Again, SLORC and
SPDC set out to transform the socialist economy into a market-oriented
economy
without political freedom. Military way to socialist and market-oriented
economy have been almost 40 years, and they still want to go.

Now, we can see that spdc' Generals  want another stupid operation for
Burma.
How many years they want to operate Burma  as an experimental field?
Military
still believe their management and administration are better than others.
They
believe their dogs  are playing very good rather than others because of
their
dogs. We can also see this kind of attitude among Burmese people because
most
of them were growing up under BSPP, and they thought  they know better than
others.

To improve the economy of the country, military should correct the action
without prejudice and holding the power.  They need  resolving  issues with
others and dealing with change. Don't give  me unreasonable pretext that
Burma
is OK. If their facts are  based and calculated on government employees,
that
might be right. Alomst 50 million people are living in Burma, we need to
deeply
consider their current life style, and living standard. And also, we need to
consider their freedom of choice. People want continuity and change in
Burma.
People want institutionalize uncertainty that means they do not want
Generals
dominate politics in Burma as a tradition ( Ne Win, Saw Maung, Than Shwe,
Maung
Aye... and so on). People want building of a new modern developed nation.
People need quality of life, and quality of education.
