You should watch the documentery film" Tears of Tibet", then you will see what really this Chinese Communist party is, then you realize, these Thug Generals learnt from Chinese how to eliminate Buddishism. I was finding very fact that Burmese genrals are not the first dictactors but the communists, they tie and smash monks and rule country by gun. Nowaday they are pursuing new strategy in Burma as they plan to grow Chinese population in Central Burma as Mandalay by buying properties and estates with printed RMB, they have record as they overwhelmed Tibet community by mainland chinese settlers. So it is crystal clear how communist policy towards Burma with the help of ASEAN chinese community. We have to very cautious on these communists as they have track record by invading neighbours, but burnmese corrupted power crazy tyrants just submit earth and water to these barbaric regime. If you ask for help, you should know what will have. I am very confuse to hear world powers and burmese politicians asking Chinese intervention in Burma’s affair.

We do welcome all who will help the people of Burma. By the way, the current monk and people killing military government is supported and armed by Chinese wapons. Our blood and suffering are with those who are supporting and doing business with them. My only wish is the once proud armed forces of Burma will again become people's armed forces by uniting with the people. I call for the resignation of all those generals who had passed their retirement age and to the younger generation of learders in the armed forces to do what is right and perform their duty. Just like General Aung San once called to fight the nearest enemy of the state during the Japanese occupation, I would like to call on them to fight their nearest enemy of the state for the sake of the people of Burma.

I have thought of protesting in front of the Chinese consulate in neighboring San Francisco. As the Chinese government is very nervous about the upcoming summer Olympic Games in Beijing, would a call to boycott the games be effective?

Honestly, I think the only thing these evil generals will understand is the same brute force they are inflicting on others. Talk about a nation that would REALLY greet our soldiers with roses at their feet, the Burmese people would happily assist the United States or a U.N. force at toppling this wicked regime. I say, attack and incapacitate Burma's military, kill or capture EVERY last general in the country and try the survivors for war crimes, write the country a new constitution, prohibit them from any kind of significant military buildup in the future and open the resource rich country of Burma up for free trade and tourism. None of this will probably ever happen but it sure would be nice. What’s crazy is Burma was better off under colonial rule than it is now.

They are the brothers and sons of some of the men in the military. Killing a monk is the worst imaginable act for a Buddhist, yet these uniformed thugs seem to have carried out their work without consideration for the reverence these monks inspire in Burmese society. Because the Buddhist teachings are in conflict with the actions of the Junta, the military see the monks as dangerous rivals, therefore, the enemy. I would simply point out that the teachings of the Buddha, as preserved and taught by the venerable monks, have been around for 2550 years. In years to come, who will remember the names of the generals who have enslaved their own people? Non-violent resistance is the only path to overcome these criminals. Suggestions to increase pressure on those companies that prop up the Junta are excellent ideas. Justice and human decency will prevail in the end. The world-wide outcry of protest is a sign of the true nature of humanity. Let us persevere in our efforts to bring an end to these crimes. May all beings be well, happy, and peaceful.

We are seeing an example of where it is important and how blocking it can hurt. I have peeked at the scifi action movie "Nightmare City 2035." A version has been just released in Thailand on DVD in English and Thai. Here we see what happens after the Internet was taken away. (And a few other warnings.) A small number of people stand for the truth. (In the US, the people need a president who will stand for the truth.)
