I strongly think that the interests of big guns like China and India will not allow the military regime to crumble. This is pretty evident from the occurings of the past couple of weeks that there is not a single sentence worth mentioning from the two big countries.
The international community has to put pressure on these two countries to stop supporting the military regime in Burma and free its people from the iron grip of a brutal military dictator.
This crisis has, once again, highlighted the inability of UN to cope with any crisis, if it involves one of the permanant members of security counsil.

I definately think Razali was bribed.. how else would you explain a country like Burma with so little access to mordern techonology decided to use E-passport!! in their country. Somemore the Burma government is having difficulty in issuing passport to their citizen who wanted to go oversea for employment, and the passports are all hand-written not machine printed!!!Even in capital city like Yangon, govenment can not give constant supply of electricity to all the household but using E-passport isn't obvious that he was given business oppurtunity . if all the UN representitive have 10% of what Aung San Su Kyi has for the interest of the people of Burma, would there be any bloodshed!!!.. so far all we see is talk only with no action from UN nor the international community!!!!!!

Don't forget that Razali had been to Myanmar in the past to negotiate in the past but nothing was improved. Can we say Razali was bribed? What else can UN do if there is still no improvement even after this meeting? It is really a great shame if international community and UN still can ignore the suffering of Myanmar people even though the whole world can see the stake of Myanmar people.

If the Military leaders bribe Mr. Gambari with money, what will be the outcome. Say as promise him to give 10 millions dollars; do you think anyone can resist? I doubt it.
Or may be it is still very early stage to jump on to a conclusion.

But, I still have doubt, the previouse facilitator Razali was bribe by the military regime. Some one told me that Military Regime had given a bussiness opportunity to Razali in Burma in the past.

The continued detention of Aung San Suu Kyi is a shame on the moral record of the entire world and symbolic of the West's complete lack of backbone in dealing with the military regime in Burma.
The violation of human rights in Burma has been deplorable for the last 45 years but it is typical of our feeble moral stance that our politicians only rouse themselves to comment when forced to by the spectacle of monks being beaten up live on CNN.
Shame on the generals in charge of Burma, even greater shame on the international community and the UN for condoning their rule by inaction.

I am much relieved to know that something is at last being done about Burma.I hope the UN follows up quickly to stop the bloodshed and do something positive to restore democracy.I suppose the main obstacles will be China & Russia as they strongly support all the worlds dictators.The Rusian people are being kept in the dark as there is no mention of Burma on Russian media.Well let your different governments push the obstacles aside and frr the people of Burma

Good luck Professor Gambari - the last time you visited things did not change. Don't think that meeting with The Lady is progress. The generals welcome you because no doubt you are a civilised and decent human being - the type of person they absolutely have no respect for. Unfortunately for this job you need the type of person who is prepared to stoop to their level - someone in the mold of Saddam, Pol Pot or Idi Amin - all despots who committed mass murder and genocide.
