It's now a genocide in Burma

[junketman]

The nazi genocide against the Jews took many forms. One of the main ones was to starve them to death in concentration camps.

The Nigerians did the same during the Biafra genocide. The British in the Boar wars as did the Germans in Namibia.

Genocide takes many forms and with-holding and preventing food reaching starving people and blocking life saving medicines is also a genocide. We think genocide is shooting people en masse but starving people as the Kamer Rouge did was also a genocide as was the famine in Ireland.

The Burmese junta are only a crowd of criminals on a par with the Nazis, the Kamer Rouge and the Hutu leaders in Rwanda.

Just as the international community respected those governments and hence abondoned their victims so also is the international community not being forceful enough in protecting the millions of victims of the Burmese junta. Its as if the US and other Security Council members are afraid to upset the criminals in charge of Burma who have no polular mandate in that country.

It really is time the major powers invaded and overthrew the Burmese junta unless the junta lets in the aid. The major powers are keeping up a charade of international diplomacy and respect for soverignty with a government, the Burmese who surely cannot be treated as a soverign government.

When will the time come when the international community refuses to recognise undemocratic governments as being official, soverign governments. Perhaps I guess if it ever came to that stage, they would also have to refuse to recognise the governmnet of Saudi Arabia, China, and many other allies around the world in the war on terror or who they depend on for resources.

But recognising governments like the Burmese is a mistake because it gives them legitimacy and appeases them just as legitmacy was given to the Nazis. Will we ever learn from history that we in the West shouldnt recognise or respect unpopuar military dictatorships? So we leave this junta in place, until when, the next cyclone, the next crackdown, the next famine? Its not as if they are good guys or are going to get any better in future. If ever there was good reason to invade, then if the Junta dont allow unlimited aid in, then the time is right for an invasion.

I hope some Irish people, sitting in their comfortable homes and after gorging themselves on a large meal don't come on here and effectively say let the Burmese people starve by arguing for the junta not to be overthrown.

Yeh, lets invade Burma

How much did the computer you typed this on cost?

[junketman]

Sickening..someone makes a call for action to prevent a genocide and you have people make jokes about that call for action.

Ireland is a dark place these days where watching the latest Man Utd game is more important than preventing a genocide.

Talk about small minds.

So how much did your computer cost then? And I am guessing you have not eaten in over a week in solidarity with the Burma people?

Paintingmedium, despite the fact i know you are an idiot and have a primitive, immature and small mind, I will say this.

The difference between me and you is I am speaking on behalf of and representing the voice of the Burmese people on this site and elsewhere because they dont have the freedom or means to do so. I think you might agree they would thank me for doing so.

When we in Ireland were oppressed we depended on people abroad to speak up on our behalf as we couldnt do it ourselves.

You however will never ever make representations on behalf of oppressed silenced people. You will however makes jokes at their expense as they go silently to their death...and I thats about all you will ever do because you are impotent when it comes to standing up for people due i guess to moral cowardice.

So the point being is that I use my computer to represent the interests of other people and lobby for a change in mindset in the west to help those people. You however use your computer to make snide immature remarks when you could do like me and if you had a spine which you dont represent those people and to something positive and worthwhile for a change.

But like I say you have a small mind.

[JDLK]

And what do you suggest we, the Irish public, do about it?

[PaintingMedium]

So it cost a bundle then?

I am guessing you have been eating too!! Tut tut!

The word high horse was invented for you!

[Twin Towers]

Could food, supplies, medicals and tents etc not be provided directly to these people by airdrop from neighbouring countries bypassing the Burmese generals?

You are one sick individual...

you obviously do not understand that all government policy is changed by lobbying.

I am using my time to make representations for voiceless oppressed people and you try to insinuate that im being hypocritical.

If i looked through this site im sure i wudnt find one instance of you lobbying for a change in policy for the good of the oppressed.

You really are immature. If you could just raise your voice on behalf of a people facing a genocide and if many more could do it those people would be saved.

Instead you make an allegation and a lie that I have no interest in the welfare of the Burmese people and am only here because i like to write nonsense like you.

i repeat you really are one sick individual.
