			<link>http://www.tai-nation.org/en/articles/978/1/The-4th-Burmese-Empire-with-Nuclear-Weapons/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Google Alert Burma duly reported of how Burma is near completion of nuclear weapon on the 18th instant and of how its Defense Minister boasts that by 2020 Burma would be one of the greatest nations in Southeast Asia. Given the economic reality of Burma compounded with its gross mismanagement and human rights violations is it but an empty dream or a reality?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are we (the ethno-democratic forces) in the doldrums, now that Mr.Gambari mission has utterly failed? If so what should be our strategy and to plot this we have to analyse it and tap on the plausible strategy. Many people were outraged at the Saffron Revolution and the slow response to cyclone Nargis and want to punish the Generals by bringing them to International Criminal Court, in The Hague; others want more sanctions and want Burma to be expelled from ASEAN. Some group work for Burma to be expelled from the UN. Others opted for UN and US intervention. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now that the world media is highlighted by the Beijing Olympics and the conflict in Georgia, and as a teacher of the history of Imperialism may I take this opportunity to highlight some of the facts and figures of the Georgia crisis especially to the pro ethno democratic forces and draw lessons as we can no longer afford the trial and error method. A country living under the shadow of the evil Chinese empire must be able to see things clearly and visualise all the trappings for the future of Union of Burma.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[  US President George W Bush, who has never been to Burma, has at least learnt to pronounce the name of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi correctly for which the Burmese activist dumped him, as well informed has delivered a major policy speech in Thailand and liaise with Burmese dissidents, while the first lady Laura Bush had visited Mae La, the biggest Burmese refugee camps (60,000 souls unofficial figure) to see things for herself.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Corruption is a worldwide issue and hits the poorest countries hardest.&nbsp;Burma gets to be near the bottom in poor poverty and corruption. Transparency International (TI &#8211; see footnote) have over the last few years prepared annual reports that indicate a comparative score called the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).&nbsp;Their report for 2005 indicates that Burma is fourth from bottom in a league table of 159 countries (Ref 1), with a CPI of 1.8 out of 10 &#8211; indicating a severe corruption problem.]]></description>
