The Socialist Military dictatorship of Burma has brutally subjugated the Burmese people since the 1960’s while the world remained silent. Now the Junta has committed yet another atrocity, murdering thousands of Pro-Democracy protesters and executing hundreds of Buddhist monks in an orgy of Marxist inspired violence that should call the world to action. From The Daily Mail:
Thousands of protesters are dead and the bodies of hundreds of executed monks have been dumped in the jungle, a former intelligence officer for Burma’s ruling junta has revealed.
The most senior official to defect so far, Hla Win, said: “Many more people have been killed in recent days than you’ve heard about. The bodies can be counted in several thousand.”
Mr Win, who spoke out as a Swedish diplomat predicted that the revolt has failed, said he fled when he was ordered to take part in a massacre of holy men. He has now reached the border with Thailand.
Meanwhile, the United Nations special envoy was in Burma’s new capital today seeking meetings with the ruling military junta.
Ibrahim Gambari met detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Rangoon yesterday. But he has yet to meet the country’s senior generals as he attempts to halt violence against monks and pro-democracy activists.
It is anticipated the meeting will happen tomorrow.
Heavily-armed troops and police flooded the streets of Rangoon during Mr Ibrahim’s visit to prevent new protests.
Mr Gambari met some of the country’s military leaders in Naypyidaw yesterday and has returned there for further talks. But he did not meet senior general Than Shwe or his deputy Maung Aye – and they have issued no comment.
Reports from exiles along the frontier confirmed that hundreds of monks had simply “disappeared” as 20,000 troops swarmed around Rangoon yesterday to prevent further demonstrations by religious groups and civilians.
Word reaching dissidents hiding out on the border suggested that as well as executions, some 2,000 monks are being held in the notorious Insein Prison or in university rooms which have been turned into cells.
There were reports that many were savagely beaten at a sports ground on the outskirts of Rangoon, where they were heard crying for help.
Others who had failed to escape disguised as civilians were locked in their bloodstained temples.
There, troops abandoned religious beliefs, propped their rifles against statues of Buddha and began cooking meals on stoves set up in shrines.
In stark contrast, the streets of Rangoon and Mandalay – centres of the attempted saffron revolution last week – were virtually deserted.
The left side of the blogosphere has jumped into action, mainly by deifying bloggers and signing petitions. Neither of these things will stop the Junta’s Holocaust against Buddhists, only action will. But the left will never call for action, they’re happy to allow the bloodshed to continue for another generation while shaking their head ruefully and wishing someone else would do something.
There was a time in this country when Americans grabbed their guns and flew to the aid of those fighting the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War or Imperial Japan prior to December 7th even when it meant not being supported by the government. Now, we arrest freedom fighters who seek to liberate their countries from totalitarianism and look to an impotant U.N. to fight for us.
If it were legal I, and hundreds of Americans to be sure, would arm ourselves fight to free Burma from the iron grip of the Marxist military Junta. But instead we must call on our elected leaders, many beholden to supporters of the Junta like A.N.S.W.E.R., to take action and stop this madness as Bill Clinton did in Kosovo. But they to are too beaten down by the “anti-war” movement to act.
So the blood will flow while bloggers find some way to turn the tragedy of our inaction into a criticism of Christians and Bush. The world will watch in mute approval as Marxism claims thousands of more victims. When will it be enough?
Is today the day? Is today the day we shake off the chains of multiculturalism and moral relativism? Is today the day Americans once again stand strong and show the world that what we believe in, the precious freedoms we hold dear, are not just the property of those born in our borders but a gift from the divine to all of humanity?
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness is the birth right of every human being on the planet, and as Americans we have a moral obligation to ensure that when a brutal regime denies it’s people those things that they have hope for a better tomorrow.
That tomorrow starts today: Contact the White House and let the President know that empty words are not enough, we demand strong actions be taken to ensure the freedom and security of the Burmese people.
The phone number is 202-456-1111 or the White House can be contact via E-Mail here.

The Left will never go into Burma, my friend.
Burma has OIL.
Going into Burma might look like we’re ‘defending Our interests.’ And NO dhimmicrat will ever want to defend US interests, anywhere in the world.
The Left’s mantra is ‘Ever Again.’
