On September 27, 2007, government security forces open fire on monks and other pro-democracy demonstrators, leaving one man dead and several others wounded according to the government in the nation's largest city. Images of people protesting were broadcasted by using cellphones and the Internet to attract world attention of the escalating violence between the military and the people. The military launched tear gas into the crowded to break up the protesting. Know one on the streets were safe including bystanders, who would eventually throw rocks and bottles to stop the arresting of the monks. The protesting began on August 19, over fuel prices increasing due to international pressures to isolate the military regime. The government showed no sign of backing down from oppositions and people such as the monks who would not let violence stop them from having the largest anti-junta protest since the 1988 democracy uprising where many peaceful demonstrators were gun down by soldiers firing into the crowds killing thousands.
The cowardliness of the Myanmar government refusal to listen to the people is a straight forward reason why the regime but be stopped. How many people must die before peace is reached or until the United States steps in? It is time that U.S. Government publicly admits that the military junta in Myanmar is a terrorist government and should be included into the war or terror. If this problem is ignored it will be another step toward a reflection of the Bosnian civil war and the genenocide of all who believe in democracy.
