27th October 1999
Rangoon has been seeing red  since the hostage crisis that occurred on the
1st of October. How  the Thai government handled the incident still turns
off Rangoon. The Burmese generals and senior colonels have been holding
serious meetings on foreign policy issues these days. The immediate action
was to be taken against the Thai policy towards the dissident Burmese.
First, the Burmese authorities blamed  Thailand for its peaceful way of
diffusing the hostage incident. Then military aggressions from the Burmese
army started. The two armies exchanged bullets. The originally paranoid
military brasshats have become more paranoid after the hostage crisis that
was followed by the explosion of the gas tanker. 

The Burmese army prepared to assault the KNU bases because Rangoon believed
that KNU was sheltering the 5 dissident students who took over the Burmese
embassy. In fact, Rangoon was all at sea. Rangoon decided to demand  Bangkok
to capture the dissident students or else the border closure would
continue. In fact, Bangkok has been dealing with dissident students for more
than a decade. In other words, Bangkok has been carrying the burden of the
consequences created by  Rangoon very patiently. Rangoon created refugees
and Bangok has got to receive them  on a humanitarian basis. Bangkok is
pounded by the UN and other non-governmental organisations if  how Bangkok
treats the refugees looks unfair from the humanitarian viewpoint. Is there
any reason why Bangkok should stand the threats of Rangoon?In terms of
military might, Bangkok is far more advantaged and well equipped than
Rangoon's armed forces. Despite the fact that Rangoon believes that the year
1999 is supposed to be a year of good luck, chaos has been  reigning since
the beginning of this year. 

Now that Rangoon's forces have been cracking down on the Thai gamblers who
entered the Burmese soil. These Thai gamblers have been entering the Burmese
soil for so long. They could have been cracked down for so long. Why now?
The answer is crystal clear. 

Rangoon's formula " Revenge is a kiss,This time I won't miss" is to do
anything that will anger Bangkok to retaliate against the Burmese dissidents
in Thailand. Cracking down the Thai citizens entering Burma illegally will
anger Bangkok. Unequivocally Rangoon would like to see Bangkok crack down on
the dissident Burmese in Thailand. Rangoon consults with nobody but only in
the inner circle. Bangkok has many international consultants with whom they
discuss foreign policy issues. If any international incident were to happen
between rangoon and Bangkok, who will the international community?Rangoon's
behaviour deserves only condemnation from all sides. Bangkok's does not.
