Burma

The Burmese military regime incites fear, yet they live with fear. Those autocrats such as the Burmese regime, the North Korean and the Zimbabwean etc. fear power of people, hence brutal oppressions. They may or may not know that dictatorship is incompatible with human progress. Perhaps, they know it, yet do not want to admit it. So they act with brutal forces.

I always wonder if there is anyway the international community could intervene into the situation. Yes, national sovereignty does matter a lot. But what about humanity? If the international community built based on universal principles of democracy (human rights, civil liberty, justice, indivisible freedom) doesn’t act, what will prevail? Intervention might sometime be necessary rather than option.
