ON PETITIONING THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL TO TRULY PRESSURE THE
BURMESE MILITARY JUNTA TO VOLUNTARILY GIVE WAY TO DEMOCRACY!

From Paul Hilder of Avaaz Team

Dear friends,After decades of brutal dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising--and they need our help.Peaceful protesters numbered 20,000 on Saturday, 30,000 on Sunday, 100,000 today. By the end of this week, they could win a new life for their country. In the past, Burma's military rulers have massacred the demonstrators and crushed democracy. This time it can be different--but only if the world stands with the Burmese. We're launching an emergency global petition demanding that the UN Security Council (and key Burmese ally China) press the Burmese generals to negotiate with the demonstrators, not crush them. Click below to sign the petition, we'll deliver it every day that this crisis lasts:http://www.avaaz. org/en/stand_ with_burma/ d.php?cl= 20001518

Thank you for adding your voice to our petition supporting the Burmese struggle for democracy. We will deliver the petition to Security Council members and media interviewing leaders at the UN all week, and make sure the Burmese know about our efforts too. This is one of those moments where the world can make a difference. Together, we are sending a strong message to the UN and warning the generals that the world will not tolerate violence and repression -- it's time for a change.Hope is hanging by a thread in Burma. Please act right now, tell everyone you know, and show Burma's rulers that people power is rising, on their own streets, and around the world.With hope, Paul, Ricken, Ben, Graziela, Pascal and the whole Avaaz Team

MY COMMENTARY: The wise citizens of this world should petition the U.N. Security Council, especially China, to put up effective measures that will succeed in pressuring the military junta in Burma to give way to democracy. U.S., India and China should hold a 3-nation conference that should effectively organize the international community’s moves in pressuring the military junta in Burma to give way to democracy. There are reports that some Russian nuke experts seem helping the military junta in Burma create a nuclear reactor that can put Burma on the list of countries that want to gain nuclear capability in weaponry. I hope Pres. George W. Bush and Zarkosy of France would lead in petitioning the U.N. Security Council to put true pressure on the military junta of Burma to give way to democracy, and, at the same time, investigate the current nuclear program that such a junta have right now, if reports about such junta’s nuke program are factual and true. All the wise citizens of this world should help the Burmese people's peaceful and lawful struggle to secure for themselves their human rights and civil liberties, and, then, truly- gain real democracy for their country_ Burma. Thanks.
