Killing Fields, Again.
To: davidlachnicht
Communism again. I’m sure these murders were for the benefit of the people, like the commies everywhere love to say. I am sick.

Burma is a prime example of why the UN is irrelevant. No regime that is held into place by force should have a voice in an international institution of any kind, much less one that putatively exists to promote peace.
Furthermore, more action than just ‘stern words’ should be taken in response to this barbarism.
Short of invasion, there should be a strict economic blockade and safe haven provided on the borders to anyone who wants to leave. I would even go so far as to advocate targeted harassment attacks on their military facilities and assets.

“Thousands of monks detained in Burma’s main city of Rangoon will be sent to prisons in the far north of the country, sources have told the BBC.
About 4,000 monks have been rounded up in the past week as the military government has tried to stamp out pro-democracy protests.”

Anybody want to guess what the laws governing gun ownership in Burma are?

It’s no coincidence that this comes right after the Chinese had a heart-to-heart talk with their Burmese puppets.

Quite a different outcome from the Ferdinand Marcos demonstrations of the 1980’s Phillipines.

“..the UN is irrelevant. No regime that is held into place by force should have a voice in an international institution of any kind..”
The entire UN is a useless and contemptible organization whose headquarters just clutters up the NY skyline. How is it possible that the country that contributes most to its survival, is only allowed one vote?

I kinda thought the Burmese military were kleptocrats, rather than having any discernable politics. Do you have a link to their communist pedigree? Would like to know.

Burma)

Some interesting facts about Burma:
- British colony until 1947
- Upon achieving independence (Jan 4, 1948) Burma was one of the wealthiest South-East Asian nation with world's largest rice exports, a developed infrastructure, the highest SE Asian literacy rate, and oil & natural gas reserves
- Prime Minister U Nu's government initiated the Two-Year Economic Development Plan, designed to transform Burma in to a welfare state
- The plan's failure plunged Burma to the World's Least Developed Country status in 1987; today the nation's infatrasture is almost non-existent, and Burma is the world's second-largest opium producer/exporter.
- The EU, UN, and the US have issued various economic sanctions against Burma; of interest, the UN sanctions of 2006 are full of loopholes (due to stonewalling by China and Russia), allowing Chinese trade interests (mosly oil) to function inside Burma.
- Burma's ruling military junta enjoys widespread support by China
But this just can't be about oil, because Bush isn't involved, right? ..

Yes, but so are the Sudanese to a certain extent. China makes deals with any foreign devil with natural resources.
Do you know the politics of the local rulers? My last hearing was “kleptocrat.”
