Mr/Mrs. Striders:

Counterproductive? Borrowed this "discrediting-the-opposition's-voice" 
vocab from Asean leaders like Lee Kuan Yew?
Prove if you "find" how any of "recent postings" are baseless and would 
be counter-productive for the ongoing democratic movement.
If you just "feel" or "think" they were counter-productive, take some 
time to do a research on the nature and mechanism of FTUB and NCGUB and 
their operational environment.
I appreciate your service.  But I doubt you have a clear understanding 
about what is ailing this whole Burmese deomocratic revolution.
Parasites.
This revolution is now about 10 years old. She is sick and tired. 
Without getting rid of parasites, she can't grow anymore to the full 
potential: bringing down the dictatorial regime.
You are dealing with the postings from those who want the revolution to 
go on.  They are offering what they can in order to reconstruct the 
deteriorating health of revolution.
Here we applied our Burmese traditional therapy: strong criticism--a 
bitter medicine.  This medicine is for all of us to swallow.
No more western diplomacy is required here.  All means are exausted.  
Our MPs and guys like Maung Maung pretend to be dumb, blind and numb to 
our constructive suggestions that were phrased in diplomatic terms and 
tones.
In fact, I don't want to write any more about this becuase they will 
keep hiding in red light areas in DC, Delhi, cheering "Long Live 
Revolution over Whiskey-filled glasses" at the "strategic meetings" held 
in the finest European hotels.  They are too busy to read our messages.
In reality, they should be given retirements or forced to retire.  They 
work too hard.  They drink too much.  They drink too much blood of our 
fallen freinds and us.
All I have written are both facts and feelings.
You are nobody for me to explain why we write.
I am nobody too.
Behave yourself.

Aung Soe (BKK)
