Earning respect.. (r)

Ako Indiana khmyar -

Please forgive me for posting my response or reply in public.

Gen. Aung San was a nationalist who fought fascist Japanese and colonial 
British.  In other words, these are foreigners.  He has earned many respects 
for his true conviction and what he has done for Burma.

What is happening here is quite different.  A civil affair.  Burmese v.s. 
Burmese.

I must urge you and your colleagues to find another way to fight against the 
Military Regime.  Please follow a none-violent path.  We need not to shed 
one innocent blood.

I do not need to go into lengthy explanation on what I meant.  It  explained 
for itself.

I know that ASSK would never, ever look at them as heroes.  She would not 
advocate this and I believe you know this also.

We do not believe violence in our civilized and progressive society.  We 
must reject it at any cost or avoid it.

Do you also condemn Aung San for taking up arms against the British?

pro-democracy force.

How could it get any worse?  Eleven years of SLORC/SPDC rule and no relief 
from terror in your own land.

 >Anyone with a clear, logical mind will tell you that they are totally 
misguided.  One step forward and four steps back!

Why not explain your reasoning here (if any)?

 >This makes them no difference from the military junta with arms 
terrorizing innocent people.

Only the difference is between holding 40 people for 24 hours, to get world 
attention and justice, and holding 40 million people for 37 years, to get 
personal power and wealth.

 >ASSK would never, ever look at these as heros.

Who gave you the right to speak for her?

Idiots can babble anything.

This is the SPDC tactic: to lie with great pomp and authority, so that the 
people, already confused by the inflicted fear and suffering, will grasp at 
straws.  You may be able to do this in Burma, friend, but not here.
