I am not arguing with you about your believe, thoughts, approaches to issues, but the facts you use in your writing are wrorgs, it is not good for you because since it is a good article and seems like you put quite efford in it. Let me point out some, nothing personal, I just happen to have read the SPDC constitution for at least 5 times so far because I think I should know to be able to agree or disagree upon the real facts. You said: 1) "President must come from military background" it is wrong. 2) " it allows military to veto any decisions by the parliament" it is wrong also. 3) " it also gives permission to the military to annex power at any time they want" it is half wrong and half right, because it gives permission to the military to annex power, but not any time. having read your article, I realize that you got alot of good reasoning in it, some of them are very good. I don't want that these wrong facts make your good article look less. Please read the SPDC consttution again and find why I said that the facts mentioned above are wrong. With respect, hi,

You said:
1) “President must come from military background” it is wrong.
2) ” it allows military to veto any decisions by the parliament” it is wrong also.
3) ” it also gives permission to the military to annex power at any time they want” it is half wrong and half right, because it gives permission to the military to annex power, but not any time.

having read your article, I realize that you got alot of good reasoning in it, some of them are very good. I don’t want that these wrong facts make your good article look less.
Please read the SPDC consttution again and find why I said that the facts mentioned above are wrong.

With respect,

In the end, it is they (the ones inside Burma) who will decide their own future. I wish them well as I believe the true test of their will still lies ahead.

NO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WORLD WILL EVER DEFENCE FOR US LONG TIME, after some years, they will recognize Myanmar government. Every country can see only its own country’s benefit.

[And, secondly, it will effectively clear the way for pro-regime parties and military officers to control 100% of seats in the parliament.]

Yes, this is our opportunity and we should not loose this. What we need now is fair and free process for the referendum and election. We need to put more pressure on the international community to help out and make it happen. If they care about Burmese people this is the time for them to act. I couldn’t agree with you more.
