Previously I lived in a Thai province that is close to Myanmar- Chiang Rai. Occasionally, I would have to go to a border town called: Mai Sai, to take care of my visa. While waiting for my visa I would shop in Myanmar, just beyond the border. At the time I was well aware of the situation in Myanmar, luckily there was no violence in the area I was shopping in. It is a shame what is going on over there. The millitary is so damn defiant of outside influence that I am starting to believe its going to be a long while before we see a democracy in that country. Perhaps some of the soldiers within the Junta will rebel and turn on it? This could be probable. Otherwise, it may escalate into what happened in Cambodia, sadly. The Burmese are great people, its a shame they have to go through this. They have been through enough already. I hope something positive happens soon. What do you think? It would be interesting to hear from some Burmese people.

I am a Burmese myself and I sure hope the country becomes democratic. The latest request from the Generals to Suu Kyi to stop her support for sanctions is an indication that the latest sanctions is going to hit them hard. A non-military solution to end this brutal regime is by using a similar punishment that they imposed on the people. They raised the fuel prices too suddenly that people had to take drastic actions like protesting on the streets. By using a similar method like imposing many harsh sanctions on them at once will give them little time to adjust and make drastic decisions like negotiation constructively. Adding more sanctions slowly like in the past allows them time to adjust by finding other ways to do business with China and India.
