"Burma seemed back to normal" MRTV shows with normality but now facing grave situations by Cyclone Nargis that could cause 2.5 million people still have lack of proper assistances, according to the international NGOs said 20 % of 2.5 million have received some relief aid while generals have been doing special occasions and ceremonies while electricity and drinking water are more than enough in Naypyidaw.
Generals looked very tired because they had paid too much attention of its preset wining results and tended to show it proudly than nothing while more than hundred thousand sacrificed their lives and two million people must wait the regime’s free and appropriate time to assist them.

We do not talk about unfairness, we want to talk about Burmese people deserve to live another day. But the world still ignores our people of Burma are facing lack of fundamental rights and uneasy to approach generals with carrot and stick policy.
Civilize world could see real ground situation without interfering?

“If someone dare to treat your family funnel like inhuman, would you accept it?” a very powerful and influential Buddhist clergy angrily noted after he learned that SPDC local authorities and USDA members pushed the death bodies into the rivers instead of collecting them to cremate and burn. One of the regime cabinet members quoted saying “our responsibility could be backed by fishes”.

Burma may not be the same as yesterday for another decade, people have no hope and no idea what they are supposed to do if regime treats them as usual.

Burmese generals and cabinet members are supposed to meet today and tomorrow in jungle capital and the result might not be many different, one of the exile scholars noted. They perhaps would discuss to keep Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from the public for another few more years.

French’s anger might not be counted after regime’s refusal and INGOs negotiated French warship to unload relief materials near Bangkok instead of Rangoon harbor. Quiet of R2P, UN may not be very popular after regime’s zigzag strategy, delaying tactics of military defensive strategy may play upper hand with INGOs.

Interest groups will lobby for SPDC senior general without having in a regime payroll list. In the mean time, Burmese people who lost their homes, jobs, businesses, tend to explore fund for bus fare to migrate neighboring countries. So much donation will go to the cronies, SPDC might not have any responsibility because people of Burma who want to leave from motherland without consultation with local authorities and inpatient to wait the help from government.

The generals have a different view but that also a different than rest of the world!
