Dear Mr. President:
It is our humble request to your government to act on Burma now. We strongly believe that it is the most appropriate time to go into Burma under the banner of humanitarian intervention. The US intervention will be seen as divine intervention by the Burmese people, not only to help the cyclone victims but also to finally free the entire nation from the military yoke.
In 1988, our people demonstrated in front of the US Embassy not to oppose the US government but to show our willingness for a US invasion. Thousands of people marched every day in front of the US embassy and hoping that US army might come in and free them. It was wishful thinking, and it never did happen.
Right now, after Nargis cyclone, people are desperate to get help from western countries. The US is their first priority; we look up to your government.
Our people have suffered enough under the cruel military generals who never respect human lives, religion and their own promise.
The following is why we believe it is necessary for the US, France, Britain or UN to lead the divine intervention.
1. Many victims are still not getting food and medical assistance. Many people and children now have sickness and disease.
2. The UN said the World Food Program is getting in 20 per cent of the food needed because of the restrictions imposed by the government. Most of the food and medicine donated from foreign countries are stored in the government warehouse and still waiting for distribution.
3. Instead of helping the victims, the regime is giving ultimatums to the victims. They are ordering the victims to leave from their respected shelters in public schools in Rangoon Division of North Dagon, South Dagon and Daw bon. Even in a big city like Rangoon, in front of everybody they are pushing out all the victims from the shelters. They will do more harm in the remote places in Irrawaddy delta region where the cyclone hit hard. The reason is they want to vacate the schools for the referendum. Their motive proved that their first priority is to approve the referendum, whatever it takes, not to save the lives of the citizens. They are not interested in saving lives because they worry that it will be the beginning of the end of their military rule.
4. In delta region, they are closing down the roads and do not allow the people who live in other divisions or states to come in and donate food and medicine. They are confiscating cameras and video cameras from people who enter the storm hit areas. What is the meaning of this? Because they are worried that all these photos will prove that many lives are in ruins and that the regime is not helping the people.
5. Similarly, they do not allow reporters. The reason is the same as above; the reporters will report to the world about not only the cyclone victims, but also the cruelty of the government. The generals do not want it; they want to hide as much as they can. Now the officials are saying that the country is already coping with the disaster and coming back to normal. If the situation has come back to normal, why do they not allow people to go in?
6. An estimated more than one hundred thousand lives were perished and millions became homeless but we never heard a word from Senior General Than Shwe that he has sympathy for the victims’ families or his encouragement for the people. Any country, when there is a disaster the head of state visited there and encourages people to overcome the tragedy. Than Shwe never speak about the cyclone victims in the past 17 days, until May 20, 2008. However, the Chinese Premier visited the earthquake victims and lowered the Chinese flag for showing its sympathy for three days. Than Shwe followed the Chinese footstep and ordered to mourn three day. The reason is he never cares about the Burmese people or the victims. His guilt makes him quiet. Because of the pressure from the EU and the USA now he is following the Chinese step
7. ASEAN will send their team members to help cyclone victims; we welcome the move made by the ASEAN, which is based on the SPDC request. However, we do not believe ASEAN’s team has enough capacity to help the two million cyclone victims. We strongly believe that the US, France, and the Great Britain have full capacity to help the victims immediately and effectively. Time is running out and we are desperate to wait for your decision.
Dear Mr. President,
If you wait for Burma regime’s approval, they will give false hope and buy time for themselves to find a solution which will favor their overcoming the situation. ASEAN involvement is their first step to avoid the US and EU to enter Burma. We love our neighbors but some ASEAN leaders are corrupt and willing to favor the regime instead of helping victims. If the regime successfully block the US and EU to enter Burma, Burmese people will be enslave for another fifty to hundred years.
Please do not compare Burma with Iraq because Buddhist monks, students, Burmese patriots, and we will happily assist you with whatever you need to go inside Burma and help the cyclone victims and entire nation. We are willing to go together with whoever enters Burma first. We will recruit translators, doctors, and nurses. Many concerned Burmese citizens are willing to join the intervention. Please do not waste the precious time that we have now to enter Burma under the name of “Humanitarian Assistance.”
With much hope and wishes,
