45 million people in Burma, who are held hostage by the military regime, 
would be very much encouraged if they were allowed to hear what the 
United States Secrectary of State and other dignitories are saying about 
their government.

We thank Madeline Albright, the US Secrectary of State for her strong 
statement against the military dictatorship in Burma. We also thank the 
leaders of the free world for their concern for the hopelessness of 
people of Burma. However, rhetoric alone will not change the situation 
in Burma. 

Past authoritorian regimes in Burma were not conformable to reason.  
Burma became a colony of the British because the Burman king did not 
understand the reason behind the East India Company's intention of 
trading with the Burman.  The First Anglo-Burmese War happened bacause 
the kings army invaded British territory in East Bengal.  The second 
Anglo-Burmese War started because the Burmese Governor of Lower Burma 
could not be awaken from his afternoon nap, when the British admiral 
came to negociate with the governor. The Third Anglo-Burmese War 
happened because there was gross human rights abuses by the Burmese 
court, where over eighty half brothers of the King were killed in the 
most inhumanly manner.

The present authoritarian regime in Burma is not going to listen to 
reason.  If the United States of America and the free World Nations are 
touched by the brutality of the regime, they can start by recognizing 
the NLD as the government of the Union of Burma.  They can expel the the 
SPDC UN Mission and replace with the representative of the NLD.  The 
United Nations should send a troop to guard the well being of the NLD 
and its leaders. The ranks of the Burmese Army will welcome UN peace 

keeping force because they are forced to be soldiers against their will. 
The UN should arrest General Khin Nyunt for his activity in the drug 
trade.  The rest of the regime will dissolve if the world community act 
with determination.
