| Burma really broke my heart. I salute the budhist monks for their courage and down-to-earth simplicity. Their arrest, beating, and killing disturbed me a lot.Mt. Burma defies all comprehension, it has been eruting since the end of the Pacific war also around the end of world war II. Most Gambians rememeber Burma's role in the second world war... |

Kay,
Your heart must not break now because the Americans are holding tight to some of their allies who do the same as in Burma. Things have been out of hand since before Saddam. If they were Muslims thay would have been attacked long ago. Where in the world have someone wone democratic elections and the winner is diprived of it. The whole world knows about Burma, Israel, Cyprus and many other undemocratic countries including Afganistan but the problem is the Americans are their best friends so nothing happen to them. The places listed have not had any democracy but because they are allies to USA then they do not care for any corrections. This is what and how the Yankee adminstration works in other countries. |

alhassan you are right, this is no hidden country the whole world has been aware of the Burma situation for a while, but until you sit down and talk you are not going anywhere, the people at the top are scared of loosing their grip. Burma should be a warning to the world, China is a sleeping giant, who will be behind things that happen in Burma and other countries.
Watch the news. The monks will be fine, they have spirit on their side, they have a common cause, watch out for the voting power, buying power and social power of international buddist, Richard Gere is buddahist. But once they close down the media and refuse the UN access to people minsters and rulers run scared. then it will be over.
as for that NICE picture of UN vp and Aung San suu, what a farce she is still under house arrest.
please look at this web site for the latest news http://www.burmanet.org/news/

In the topic posting Gambian Woman President/ in July - I gave the link below of Aung San Suu Kyi - disappointed that there was not much of a response then to this very brave lady.
Hopefully, the Buddhist monks will one day bring down the military rulers - but I feel it will be too late for Aung San Suu Kyi to take her rightful place as leader.
January 2nd 1989. Funeral of Daw Khin Kyi. Huge funeral procession. Suu Kyi vows that as her father and mother had served the people of Burma, so too would she, even unto death.

Alhassan, do not quote me on this one , but I do not think Burma is an ally of U.S. Beacuse of the nature of the regime in Burma the country is cut off from the rest of the world except a few countries. China is the biggest ally and trade partner of Burma today.
Do you seriously think U.S. is anti-Muslims? |

kayjatta,
Yes US is anti Muslim government. What is factual today is that they do not want these feagures or countries to survive without Us intervention. Look at Irak today, it is compared as poor as the African continent. Who caused the poverty if not the US and allies.
Palistinians cannot return to their homeland but must be sent to Brazil. Afganistan, the prisoner at the bay in Cuba and many more
Look at what is happening in Pakistan today. Is Mushraf not a good aley of Bush? They have been visiting eachother and even they know that India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons but is is ok. There is too much US hippocricy in this world. The are the couse of most of the evel wars on this earth. |

Simple. Those governments are puppet. If there was a democracy, these government would not be allience of US. Saudi arabia and Kuwait are under US occuption. Egypt and Jordan are the governments receiving huge amount of CIA cash for the safety of Israel. Also they happened to be the only countries which has peace accord with Israel. I thought this was so obvious, simple and that is well known fact by most people in the world. Do I miss something?

Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |
