TIME TO RESTRUCTURE POLITICAL STRAT (r)

Subject: Re: TIME TO RESTRUCTURE POLITICAL STRATEGIES


There are little or no chances at all to have  a democratic system in
operation as long as a military like in Burma these days is in
charge.Impossible ! We should all pretty well know by now.

Let's get on with different approach.


Yours sincerely




I dearly and honestly believe that UK is morally responsible to fix up,
what you call it one of the most cruelities of time, situations in
Burma.The bill is long overdue.



Benya,syd
