If that's what you want, why do you and your junta employers restrict the
use of the internet, of fax machines, of photocopiers and of video tapes
by Burmese inside Burma?

It is clear that you prefer to set the terms of your "debate."  It's much
easier to "debate" with the elected Burmese parliamentarians when you hold
them captive, month after month, in your "guest houses," threatening their
families and their livelihoods, isn't it?

Yah, haw, haw.  All it took was several weeks of arrests of schoolkids as
young as 14, driving trucks around threatening potential demonstrators,
Gen. Maung Aye threatening to use the bloated, 400,000 member armed forces
to kill, kill, kill anyone who challenged military power, and army and
"riot" police on every bloody corner with weapons locked and loaded.  Wake
up Bud.  After 11 years your junta employers can only hang on to power by
mobilizing a constant threat of deadly force.  Real impressive.

You mean your junta employers who waste endless money on weapons and
growing an army, while constantly de-funding health care and education?
Who chase away even thick-faced Singapore investors who couldn't care less
about anything but money, but who find they can't make any while your
employers practice corruption and incompetence?
