your heart.

<< Dear Nyi Lwin,
 
 Thank you for your very clear and simple truth about Mr. Okkar.  
 
 There is one difference between you and Okkar, though.  You are a Burmese 
citizen who is giving your opinion for those who want to listen.  Mr. Okkar 
is a Burmese citizen who is giving his opinion with 450,000 guns pointed at 
us from behind his back.  Without the guns, Okkar would be a scared little 
citizen, indeed.  
 
 The time is not far off when Mr. Okkar's masters will be standing before an 
international tribunal, desperately explaining why they should not be 
imprisoned for their gross crimes against humanity.  This is the inevitable 
outcome, unless of course the Burmese people get to deal with them first.  
 
 It gives me no satisfaction to think of Okkar's probable state of mind at 
that time.  Just a great sadness for the destruction and suffering his 
misguided masters are now causing, and which they will soon experience for 
themselves in a very personal way.  
 
 Governance is not a game of force and cleverness, Mr. Okkar, in order to 
accumulate power and prestige.  It is a selfless service to one's national 
family, and requires great personal sacrifice.  The reward of good governance 
is the people's happiness, not the ruler's.  
 
 There is always time to surrender to the truth, Okkar, right up until the 
moment when the hammer falls.  Think about it.
