Karadzic and Than Shwe

Karadzic was one of the world's most wanted war crimes fugitives. He is a former Bosnian Serb president and a masterminded man of the ethnic cleansing .

More than 8000 Muslims were killed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war. But the latest research says about 100,000 people were killed in this war. Karadzic was arrested on early Tuesday morning in a sweep by Serbian security forces.

After Karadzic, Myanmar military leader Than Shwe should be considered and included in the list of world’s most wanted because he masterminded to kill the Buddhist monks and people during September uprising , 2007. He can also be accused of masterminding "ethnic cleansing" killings of Sham , Kayin and its own citizens. The Army and Senior General Than Shwe had committed similar crimes of killing NLD members and students on many occasions. The major massacre is in Depe Yin town , 30th May 2003, hundreds of NLD members led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, were killed. The intention of Depe Yin massacre was to assassinate Daw Aung San Kyi, but she fortunately released with the help of people and pro-democracy members.

Recently the Nargis cyclone hit many parts of Myanmar, with more than 138,000 people killed and more than 2 million people helpless, homeless and hopeless. Nargis killed less, but Myanmar military government killed more with the failures to rescue, food supplies and medical supplies. All the cruelties of life in Myanmar are masterminded by Senior General Than Shwe.

I was born in Wun Tho, Sagaing Division, Burma in 16/04/1982. I was ordained a novice in 1994 and a monk in 2000. I studied Buddhism at Khanti Pariyatti Monastery (Wun Tho, Sagaing Division, Burma), Wayalet Pariyatti Monastery (Rangoon, Burma) and Man Aung Monastery (Rangoon, Burma). I passed Buddhist examinations known as Pathamange, Pathamalatt, Pathamagyi in Burma. I arrived Colombo, Sri Lanka on 9th May, 2004. I studied B.A and M.A programme in Colombo, Sri Lanka and has successfully completed B.A and M.A from the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka. While I was studying in the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka, in September 2007, there was a Saffron Revolution in Burma. The military regime cracked down the peaceful protestors who mostly are Buddhist monks. As I could not reconcile myself with the current military regime's brutal crackdown to our Buddhist monks, peaceful protestors and human rights abuses, I became involved in the Burmese politics as an exile.

American Expat in Asia

So many myths

The thing is, many of the deaths attributed to the Bosnian Serbs were in fact committed by Islamic Extremists (Al Qaeda) with weapons from Iran that the US greenlighted (went though Croatia to Sarejevo and Izetbegovics Muslim government).  When asked about it Madeline Albright did not deny it, except to say  "It is very hard to believe a country would do that to it's own people".   After 9/11, we know it is not so hard.

The purpose of course was to facilitate conditions for NATO intervention and the Balkanization of the region.  Radical Islam has been a very useful tool of the  US for the past 30 years, starting with our deposing the Shah and replacing him with the Ayatollah, and our training of Islamic extremists in Afghanistan.

As for Burma, it would be a great prize to be able to get control given it's strategic location.  I am a skeptic since it seems the guys we call bad are usually not as bad as those we want to replace them with.  It's funny that when the tsunami hit Burma in the exact place the cyclone hit, we accepted the death toll of 9000 at face value.  When questioned by skeptics, we were told Burma was a closed society, so we have to accept their word.  Only 4 years later, we seem to know everything about what was going on.  Sign me a skeptic.  Meanwhile, last I checked, New Orleans is still a wreck and people living in trailers or ethnically cleansed and bused to Houston

I am interested in what will happen on 8/8/8.  Will it be like 8/8/88?  Whats the plan?.  This is the same day as the Beijing Olympics opening on 8/8/08 :8:08 pm.  It should be interesting. I am sure we have our insiders in there ready to agitate, so I would be surprised if nothing goes down.  I enjoyed the movie Beyond Rangoon and am looking forward to the sequel.  

I see the Dalai Lhama is making the media rounds again, so I guess this means we should see some excitement in Tibet as well.  Kind of break ups the summer doldrums.

The consenus reality also has it wrong on Sudan. Somalia and Zimbabwe, not to mention Venezuela.  It really is like 1984, where the Ministry of Truth=Lie.
