It's a sickening feeling. First 1988, then 2007.
The BBC World Service was dissecting the failure of street protests in bringing about immediate political change. One analyst was predicting that future protests might see more violence coming from the people because of the realization that the military regime understands only the language of violence. The response from a Burmese exile was that violence would breed more bloodshed and peaceful demonstrations are far more powerful methods.
It is a sickening feeling indeed. How many more peaceful Burmese need perish before a change happens.
And what next, if the military junta falls?
