Rumours does not amount to Democrat (r)

[kenoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi

I truely agree with you RAMyint that there are many good solders in Burmese
Army who really love their country and people. Unfortunately these good
solders are forced to serve New Win and follow his path. If solders were
given choice to choose Aung San's path or Ne Win path I am sure majority
will follow Aung San's way. Solders are proud to be solders because they
feel they serve the people and country. In reality it is not true. (most of
the time) they are killing, rapping their own people. We don't have outside
treat.
With ethinic minorities we sould be able to talk and come to certain
concession and agreement.
It can happen if the regime is sincere. 

It is a time for good solders to stand up and save the country from a new
dictator and new totalitarian regime. Even the Barlin wall did break into
pieces why not Ne Win/BSPP/SPDC/SPDC ? I am sure when every good solders
stand up they will win. The only need of  good solders is some kind of
support from those working in the DDSI department like OKKAR. So Ko Okkar
if you (all of you) really love the Burmese people and the country, support
Daw Aung San Suukyi and support the reform before it is too late. 

I agree we need a strong modern military to protect the people and the
democracy but not to protect Ne Win and  a group of his thugs so called
SLORC/SPDC.
