A Recommendation to Change Burma

As a Burmese activist w who has ten year experience in a mobilization of
reiteration democracy in Burma, I would like to conclude that the
recommendations by Asian Watch to conduct Burma's new policy for ten years
ahead are seemed to be only 2% creditable. The fact is that Burmese people
have already shown since 1988 what kind of government they want. It is the
will of the people. So is the desire that will never be defeated by either an
organization or person.

Only pressure and further isolation will help promoting democracy in Burma
within months. Investing money with the regime will help the regime to repress
its own people and the democratic forces. Sending a U.S. ambassador to Burma
under this brutal regime will only show to recognize the junta as a legitimate
government by the U.S.. 

To under the Burmese army, one should understand the nature of the present
ruling general-thugs first. The army that some overly counted does not welcome
the generals. In fact, officers and solders know very clearly how these thugs
have cheated them. If there is a chance to turn down the thugs, the officers
along with the soldiers will overthrew the thugs, and more than that they will
join hands with the people and democratic forces. 

To install a peaceful transition in Burma, U.S, EU, Australia, Canada, Japan,
and ASEAN should form " a contact group" during September UN General Assembly.
Governments and Burma's sympathizers should fund the contact group. Thus the
internationally recognized contact is able to carry the U.S. resolution, of
which it says are to honor 1990 election results, and to hold dialogue with
the democratic forces and ethnic forces. At the same time, economic sanctions,
diplomatic sanction, and arm embargo must put on Burma until the certain
points are met. In the end, Burma will be changed and become one of the
democratic countries in our world via international pressure and intervention.

One very important thing to remember for every one is that the junta does not
have enough dollars to run the county not more than three months. Rice, main
daily foods for every Burmese, is insufficient. Political tension is in heat.
Disagreement between the military functions and the military intelligence
functions are boiling. For these reasons, only putting more pressure and
isolation is highly recommended.
