I don’t know well about real facts of Bo Mya. What I heard was only from one side, aired by Burmese government. So it is not wise to judge he is a bad man or good man after being a long time Karen leader. But what I belive is that opposition groups are essential to play a balancing role.br /br /span style=”font-style:italic;”"This is the big loss for the Karen and all Myanmar ethnic fighters,” said Mahn Sha, the group’s general secretary. “Gen.

A few weeks ago, I came across a nice personal website and I visited there regularly. As its main component is blog, I did leave some comments whenever I wanted to do so. One post was about a consequence of Fiji coup. So I left this comment.br /br / “I feel coup is something like a sporadic infectious disease. Obviously it is a immaturity of democratic era in Fiji.”br /br /What I meant is that Britain with an old enough democracy will not face coup.On the other hand, such illegal thing is inevitable in Thailand and Fiji whose democratic era have not been long enough to be mature.br /br /Someone replied my comment as follow: br /br /”When something like this happens in a small country…it’s called a “coup”…but when it happens in countries such as the USA, France, or Russia, it’s called a f*** revolution. Steve should stop yapping about democracy until he studies, learns, and understands Political Science.”br /br /I didn’t expect to receive such a response. After analysing his words, I believe that that person has lost his thinking power after suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder . br /br /According to the American Psychiatric Association (1994), post traumatic stress disorder develops after someone is exposed to an extremely traumatic event and they reacted to the event with intense fear, horror or helplessness. br /( http://www.anxietyaustralia.com.au/anxiety_disorders/post_traumatic.shtml )br /br /In this case, this person would have a bitter past history of democratic activities against his benefits . He would lose some or all of his properties because of democracy. He would have an intense fear of democracy. Once the word such as democratic or democracy is heard, the mental problem would recur, leading to a new deterioration of thinking power. As a result, he would be in a delusional state and thought that revolution and coup are the same. br /br /If you want to learn the meaning of coup, visit a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couphere /abr /br /The following links are about revolutions in USA, Russia and France. br /American revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_revolutionbr /Russian revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolutionbr /France revolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_1848_in_Francebr /br /You will know more about how much difference between coup and revolution after reading these and you may understand that the responder is a crack.

I have some comments, regarding recent X21 program.br /br /1. I feel yesterday’s X21 is patronizing Burmese people as I believe that many Myanmar internet users from Burma have got such knowledge. Not new for them, wasting BBC’s limited time.br /br /2. Bebo has been listed in presenter’s second position at the beginning of the program. I don’t believe it is a popular one. Why didn’t she include blogger.com? Forget or leave it deliberately? Check this http://myanmarblogdirectory.blogspot.com/2006/07/myanmar-bloggers.htmlbr /Many Burmese from Yangon and Mandalay have been its members.br /br /3. I noticed that presenter could not pronounce “friend” correctly when she talked about Freindster, I’m afraid. I had to check with http://www.answers.com/friend when I heard her voice. I know this is Burmese program, but any English word used should be in a proper way, I think. You all are broadcasting from London, aren’t you?. By the way, Tharaphi Than is doing very well. She has got a fantastic voice, playing very well in her role.br /br /My comments could be useful in a quality improvement process to some extend, I believe.

When it was about 1 o’clock at noon, I felt peckish and I popped in to nearby Morrison superstore to eat something. Basically people are active and happy in such a pre-Christmas days. But I can’t believe that catering staffs in Morrison (Stratford) were with grooming faces. When I saw them I felt they were not energetic and not willing to serve customers happily. They reminded me old communist Russia’s sale assistants. br /br /I was waiting for someone to be served near the till. 2 minutes later, a man (looked like Indian origin) came out and asked me what I would like. I asked him “Can I have a fish and chip”. He didn’t say properly anything, but he disappeared in to the room. I thought he checked if the food was available or not. I was wrong. 3 minutes later, he came out again and took off his apron. He avoided eye contact with me and he just went back. I guess his time had finished. I can’t believe his attitude toward customers. I was not alone. Another elderly couple was also awaiting to be served. Other staffs were pretending not to see us and they were doing their jobs in a very slow manner. I have no idea why they could not say in a civilized manner “we are serving you in a minute, don’t be long”. After 4 minutes later, We had to give up and left the Morrison. br /br /This is the copy of letter what I sent to Morrison customer service.

Lately, via one of Burmese blogs, I got to the a target=blank href=”http://www.bmstu-myanmar.com/movies.html”www.bmstu-myanmar.com/a of Myanmar students studying in Russia Federatoin (as far as I understand). I was amazed that on their website, the latest films such as Dejavu, 007 Casino Royale and many more were available.Some comercially available softwares as well. br /br /I have a big concern about copy right law. I know thier aim for Burmese fellows. But I don’t understand why they did so at the expense of taking risks. Maybe in Russia, people don’t need to care about copy right law.I must confess I don’t know about Russia too much. What I know is a high risk of crime rates in Russia, lovely Russian ballet,terrible Russian Mafia, wonderful stories of Russian billionares living in London and Polonium 210 used for assassination.br /br /When I google bmstu, it is a target=blank href=”http://www.bmstu.ru/mstu/English/”Bauman Moscow State Technical University/a
