Being self-confident is a desirable charaterictic that will lead you to
success or to accomplish what you have projected. As far as the SPDC and
their thugs are concerned, they are well aware that they are detested by the
puplic and the international community except ASEAN that has blind faith in
the regime. Japan is in doubt about whether to keep on dealing with SPDC. It
has already been too late for ASEAN to revoke the membership to Burma. Blind
faith has made the regional group go down the drain.

In terms of the members of the SPDC, practising the religious rituals seems
to be a major breakthrough to save face to the regime and to tell the people
that they are preserving  religion and culture. The members of the regime
are far busier than ever, striving to do anything possible to deter anything
and anybody they believe could be influencing the situation for the 9th of
September 1999[ 9/9/99]. In Rangoon where security is exceedingly tight,
students staged protests on Thursday,the 19th of August 1999. Arbitrary
searches and arrests are reported to ahve occured every night . Frequent
protests are also reported to have occured in Prome, Mandalay and Maulmein.
The 9/9/99 is just 18 days away and what will happen on that day is yet to
be found out. Being able to seize the literature belonging to the
pro-democracy activists does not mean  their spirit has been defeated. The
regime has driven fear into the public by means of arrests, torture and
longer jail terms. The members of the regime themselves live in fear of
losing power  and the only person who has freedom from fear is Aung San Suu
Kyi who has sacrificed her rights, family and everything else that SPDC
cannot risk to lose.
