Exactly. The bottom line. Money talks. Money or guns. Slorc has the guns 
and needs the money. Lets hope and work towards underlining "the 
multilateral financial agencies such at the World Bank, the IMF, and the 
Asian Development Bank".

Thank you FBC in Wisconsin. There is light at the end of the tunnel...The 
international funding institutions, backed by sincere human rights 
concerns, has more power than all the guns in Burma. (But the freedom 
fighters in the field still need more arms!)

re / 
Journalist Aung Zaw talked to a Karen National Progressive Party [KNPP]
leader after the loss at of Rambo Hill 2, their last mountain stornghold.
Aung Zaw :  So you are saying that the opposition in Burma should be 
armed?
KNPP fighter : Yes. We will win if we have arms.
Of course it was a defeat, but we will never surrender,"said Abel Tweed, 
foreign minister for the Karenni
 independence movement. "We will turn to guerrilla tactics. Slorc will 
never win this war."
