In response to "The Burmese Fairy T (r)

 Let me state that I am an American and I've never been to Burma. So I 
don't have an "insider's view". Sincerity aside reading the "Burmese 
Fairytale" posting and then reading how the NLD is ready to "share 
power" with a corrupt, oppressive, narco-dealing regime that calls 
itself the SPDC is disheartening to read to say the least. 

Whether the author of the "Burmese Fairytale" posting is sincere or not 
is not relevant in my opinion. As well, the accusations that are 
implied in her posting that the pro-democracy movement in Burma is 
shallow, one dimensional and far removed from reality is a little far 
removed from reality itself. I believe that the SPDC regime is 
intrinsically evil ( and I don't need to tell any of you why), and a 
regime like that is not worth compromising with, opening up diplomatic 
relations with etc. As far as the U.S. Gov't is concerned, I think that 
more sanctions should be placed against Burma. As well, I would hope 
that certain insurgent groups are being covertly funded and supported 
by the west. Anything less would be rewarding the SPDC for it's actions..

So I would argue the opposite, the SPDC is not worth the time of day 
as far as sharing power is concerned because they haven't done anything 
to legitimately prove that they deserve to have power. All they have 
used is pure force on the Burmese people. And whether the NLD likes it 
or realizes what it is doing or not, by sharing power with a regime 
like that, they are giving it legitimacy.

it is always darkest before the dawn.

Sincereley,
