Aung San Suu Kyi was lead away from her home by government security forces. *Her destination, Burma’s chamber of horrors, Insein Prison. She will await trial then into a cell to serve out her sentence in Burma’s corrupt kangaroo court system. With no concern for justice or the law Than Shwe has concocted a scheme to break the back of the democracy movement within Burma. His failure to persuade ethnic cease fire groups to become fanciful porters and border lackeys was a major set back on his roadmap to total domination. But not all was lost fore he succeeded in arresting Aung San Suu Kyi on bogus charges in an effort to assert his authority and assure a victory in the illegal 2010 election. And the world looks impotently at yet another horrendous act of inhumanity and absolute corruption.
Than Shwe’s propaganda machines have been turning out some wild stories and it is my suggestion they find jobs in Hollywood. The scripts would almost make a B-Rated movie as ridiculous as the stories are. Of course Than Shwe is throwing in a race card to try and rally support for his lies. His lackey’s speak about morality, virtue and the scarlet woman Aung San Suu Kyi. Guess the wholesale murder of ethnic minorities is not as immoral as having someone intruding in your privacy without your permission. Bombing and maiming innocent men, women and children is just a walk in the park. Spreading vile and incurable diseases to cull the opposition and eliminate villagers also meets higher moral standards. Having sex with children then butchering them to death is exempt from moral scrutiny in the junta’s eyes. Child soldiers stand as a testament to Than Shwe’s concern for the youth of his nation and slaves continue to be killed when they can’t work. Yes, Than Shwe is the pillar of the community, provided you live in hell.
So let the junta spread their vile lies about Aung San Suu Kyi. It is only themselves they are trying to fool fore the world already knows the truth. Than Shwe and his criminal regime are a lie and a fraud. And now the ball is in the court of the international community. It is time to put up your money where your mouth is. The days of rhetoric and feel good speeches have come to no avail. The people of Burma have made their voices heard at great risk to their lives and civil liberties.
With volumes of videos, pictures and eye witnesses surely there is one scrap of evidence that could be used in a court of law. Maybe the facts are too harsh and distasteful to think about because of the gruesome and violent nature in which people were killed by the Burmese Army. How grizzly does a murder have to be before it is a punishable offence under international law? What exactly has to happen to justify a comprehensive world wide response? Obviously morality, humanity and the democratic voice of a nation has little influence in today’s world. Small wonder the world is faced with an unprecedented financial disaster fore money is the only motivator in world politics. It’s all about the money.
I know if I was in their position I would be looking towards my friends to help me out. After all, that’s what friends do, at least in my side of the street. Burma was a critical ally during WWII. Now we sit paralyzed in fear of upsetting the ox cart of lucratively in Asian markets. At one time life was considered priceless, now it’s considered collateral damage and a side bar in the grand scheme of things. If we turn our back on Burma at this juncture, we’ve sold our soul to the devil and we will be rewarded accordingly, in the grand scheme of things. If we don’t stand for humanity there is no civilization.
