Re: Burmese generals deserve to be flogged: US Congressman - Lalit K Jha

Well, Mogyothwar, if everyone should mind his/her own business then
you should stop talking about for example Iraq. I should stop talking
about my neighbour and my neighbour about me. It would be a really
"nice" [8<(( world, everyone not allowed to interfere with someone
else, unless totally indisputable oneself. All problems solved,
reduced to one self as single individuals only.

Actually that is what is usual in the animal world. I think you don't
understand and are not used to what a democracy includes in this
regard. It includes the freedom to criticise while being criticised.
Mutual criticism and disputing. Criticising something in the world
without being complete, complete meaning to criticise everything that
could be criticised, starting nearby. Complete is not feasible.

So, if I feel the need to criticise the junta from here, it does not
mean that I am perfect myself. But I may choose what I judge most
important to myself. At a certain moment I felt the extremely severe
harassment of the people in Burma and saw the obvious contrast between
good and evil, black and white, so I decided to criticise the Burmese
tyrants. That is my right as a free human being, world citizen,
whether I am 'clean' in someone else's eyes or not.

So, it would suit you better if you directly responded to, commented
on the subject presented instead of always suggesting to look in the
mirror, avoiding the subject.

Burmese generals deserve to be flogged: US Congressman - Lalit K Jha

It is the Burmese generals, who have indulged in gross violations of human
rights against its own citizens and prevented the establishment of
democracy in the country, that need to be flogged and not Aung San Suu
Kyi, an influential US Congressman has said.

"It is the SPDC generals, brutal dictators with their crimes against
humanity and campaigns of ethnic cleansing, who deserve to be stripped of
power and placed under arrest for many years to come," Congressman Joe
Pitts said on June 12.

Pitts, a Republican, who represents Pennsylvania's Lancaster Chester and
Berks counties, made the speech on the floor of the House of
Representatives, after Burmese state-run media said Aung San Suu Kyi
deserved to be beaten like an errant child for threatening national
security.

"Madam Speaker, I rise today over the comments made by the brutal
generals, military dictators in Burma, saying that Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel
Peace Prize winner and rightful leader elected by the people, deserves to
be flogged. Come again?" Pitts said.

Pitts said these are the generals who stonewalled for weeks and refused to
allow desperately needed humanitarian aid to get to the people after
Cyclone Nargis.

These are the generals who order their military to attack ethnic groups
throughout the country and in 1988 issued a blood assimilation order to
their troops to marry or rape the ethnic women in order to "purify" the
ethnics' blood lines, he said.

Pitts alleged the generals forcibly conscript children to serve as
soldiers in their army and plant land mines around the villages they
attack so that returning villagers get maimed or killed.

The authoritarian rulers pillage or plunder the resources of Burma so they
can have huge weddings with millions of dollars of jewels around the necks
of their daughters, Pitts said.

Meanwhile on June 12, the US Senate approved renewal of import
restrictions contained in the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003.

"Last month, the whole world got a close look at the SPDC's contempt for
human life when a devastating cyclone hit Burma," said Senator Mitch
McConnell from Kentucky.

"No one can say with certainty what the full toll of death and destruction
is from the storm, but we do know the junta greatly compounded matters
through inaction and its utter disregard for the Burmese people,"
McConnell said before the Senate decided to renew the sanctions.

This bill is the same legislation the Senate has passed in prior years. If
enacted, it would extend import sanctions for another year unless the
regime takes a number of tangible steps toward democracy and
reconciliation.

He said the SPDC severely restricted the entry of relief workers into
Burma. Four US navy ships carrying much-needed supplies for Burmese people
were turned away time and again by the regime, he alleged.

McConnell said: "Estimates put as many as 135,000 people dead or missing
after the cyclone hit on May 3, and many of those deaths must lie at the
feet of the SPDC for its outrageous acts of criminal neglect."

The bill, however, would not hinder or block US efforts to provide
humanitarian aid to Burma in the wake of the cyclone. This bill imposes
sanctions on trade, not humanitarian aid, McConnell said.

"America is a friend to the people of Burma. That is why we stand against
Burma's tyrannical ruling regime," he said. Besides McConnell, Senator
Dianne Feinstein and Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican
nominee, were its co-sponsors.

Lay Bor,

US congressman Joe Pitt (may be the elder brother of Brad Pitt, the
Hollywood actor) should mind his own business, rather then hopping
from one woman to another.with his own reasons, whether he know her or
not, smoothr, charmer he may be. The women he mantioned is 63 years
old now.

What is his business. His business was to serve the citizens of United
States of America, because he was elected by nthem.Besides, if he does
not know, if he has no time to find out because he is loafing around
his business is that in United States of America the, Land of the
FREE, there are 27 millions people living FREELY below poverty line.
He should do something about them very quick rather then putting his
nose somewhere else.

The cost of producing one barrel of oil is one is US dollar, according
to experts, but the price of oil was coming up and up and up, since
the invasion of Iraq by US and Britain At the moment , at this hour,
one barrel of oil (New York) US$ 135, UK/Brent iis US$ 136. Saudi
Arbia is being ask to produce more..Not necessarily to reduce the
price of oil but to make more profit and to starve other oil needing
countries with oil or to dry Saudi out. Saudi Arabia will sink into
the sea very soon and become Atlantis. ..

That is the way to control the world, to control oil is to control the
world.

If you are in the United States of America, will you please tell him
what I just said.

For your information, United States of America ( not all America) is a
friend to no one, only to those who it can exploit, bully, manipulate
and undermind.

There are demands and citizens of the United States of Americ has
shown that the time has come for Unitd States to change its foreign
policies.

United States or UK ares touch anyone, unless they have their
accomplices. United States is the leader of the gangsters. who are
under him since after the WW II.

The evidence were, there were some countries still under the military
occuption of United States of America namely Germany and Japan, and
not to forget the French. who did not join hands in invading Iraq and
other parts of the world. PR China and Russia are not yes sir, yes sir
people either . That is just the beginning. Your Congressman Mr. Joe
Pitt should really worry about these, He should call back America oil
companies to withdraw from Myanmar, if he can. Tell him not to be a
big arse.

What will happened if Barack Obama is elected as President of Uniteed
of America will be very interesting. if he ever elected, we have to
wait and see, don't we?

Don't be carried away to much Lay Bore, learn, be sensible, use your
common sense.

There are a lot of things we want, we want to do, we want to see, we
want it to happened. we want to be.

Mogyothwar.
