The Nation (21-8-99) (r)



If one carefully studys dictaors and their methods or tactics to 
opress their own people by only mean they understood by force, assuming
to prolong their power survival, he or she will be realized what is
exactly going worng by the present ruling regime of Burma that said it
is on the right truck to democracy. But the  the regime in fact lies
again. Only way to free from that kind of repreesive regime is just to
'fight for the rights' rights of being a human.

Closing all higher leanrning institutes, forcing million of people to
become refugees though out the world, jailing thousands of opposions in
prisons, dealing with the world's most wanted drug lords, refusing
people's elected representatives to hand over power, building military
units and Etc. in fact are not a tactic that is leading toward
democracy in Burma. But that is in fact to prolong the military power
only.

In the future, before studing knowledgeable and accountable reasons and
factors in terms of academically learning, one should avoid writing
such prejudice, of which the public comment appeared in "The Nation"
leads fail information to a highly committed human community, natinally
and internationally, that has really been working hard to restore
democracy in Burma.
