The ongoing military activities have made life worse at Myanmar. There is a tough one going there. We had never expected the Monks to face trouble. Always monks are said to closer to god and we definitely got to respect them. But these military crackdowns not only disturb the country's Peace but also it is a dishonor to the Monks.

The people of Myanmar are very reasonable in protesting against dictatorship. Dictatorship has never done good thing for humanity, they instead deprive other human being of rights they enjoy. It destroys economy and exploit people too. Myanmar military government should go. Give up the power and face election. Monks are doing well in fighting such oppression.

I think it is horrible the things that are going on in Myanmar or Burma as I like to call it. I think it would be frightening to live in a country where peaceful people are being terrorized. I think th great powers in the world should step in and help.

This may be the begining of the bloody end for the military leadership in a country that has suffered much from their brutal incomptenece
