I forgot to tell you one more thing.
I had an American made hand grenade while I was inside Burma.  I had been 
looking for a chance to throw it at General Khin Nyunt.  Because he is 
mostly responsible for everything happened in Burma.  But I didn't have that 
chance.
But I hope... one day we will get him.
