i have an unconfirmed subjective hypothesis that unaddressed issues often return to taunt and haunt one’s conscience… this seems to apply micro-scopically… meso-scopically… and macro-scopically etc.
when violence is used as a means to end confrontation of real issues… it offers no resolution… and often more suffering and hatred. we just don’t seem to learn?!?!?… or that the survival of the fittest gene is just too potent compared to the altruistic cousin? and more generations of sacrifices are needed to rid that once-useful (?!) mutant?!
in any case… we can’t just keep watching and do nothing?!?! this is so vexing… =(

It’s really sad to see the situation the people are in in Burma. While everyone in and out wishes more intervention from the outside world, I feel it’s the citizens who must stand up and fight back. It’s really unfortunate that the opposition did not do a good job of planning and sustaining the momentum. You can see that the people are not united and chose to let fear take over…..
The army had almost 2 decades of preparation, it’s not easy to dethrone them. If they had dared to take on the moral authorities, they are already so displaced from the real world. Sad sad… what human beings can bring to another.

yeah, but isn’t it ironic that in a country where Buddhism is much respected, that the army should go against the very essence of their own cultural heritage? they must have been completely brain-washed!
