Now that a change has taken place, the SPDC has a good opportunity, to rectify the sociopolitical and economic conditions in the country. The gcncrale must prove that the change is not in name only and
 show genuine interest in resolving the nation's ills. They would only be heading for trouble if by "disciplined democracy" they mean, "guided democracy." The generals had a chance of becoming national heroes in 1988 when the people were looking to the mi
litary to take the lead toward delivering them the promised democracy. The opportunity is here again.

A step in the right direction would be to initiate a dialogue without preconditions with the National League for Democracy led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The talks should be directed toward national reconciliation and an eventual return to democracy.

Without taking in account the NLD, a party chosen by the people to lead them and without a sincere intentian to build a democratic nation, where of r

The abolishment of the notorious State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) was long over due. It was an entity synonymous with mass murder, brutality and repression, and it was formed for  the sole purpose of perpetuating military rule. It should ne
ver have been there in the first place.
