A Voice from Burma: Pls Invade
Posted on May 13, 2008, by Hanna Ingber Win, under International.
TIME magazine carried a story Saturday asking if it was time to invade Burma because 100,000 were dead, 1 million at risk, and Burma’s ruling junta refused to allow most aid and foreign relief workers into the country. Ben Cohen then called the TIME article “ridiculous, irresponsible and downright idiotic” in his blog for the Huffington Post. Now a reader named Thawta adds a Burmese perspective to the question. Thawta left this comment on my blog:
PLs make him and US citizen to understand that Myanmar welcome US Army to invade Myanmar.
Now people in Myanmar are looking into sky and hopping US Army to enter myanmat to arrest SPDC junta.
We,Myanmar ppl, really need powerfull country likes US to help us to get Democracy.
We really need help from world countries.
Today Myanmar Junta sealed off the disaster area. Even Burmese people cannot enter that zone unless their ID card belong to that area. That’s really bad.
The rulers don’t allow aid agencies as well as Myanmar volunteer to enter that zone.
Pls help people from world to understand that Myanmar people really welcome US Army as well as others.
It’s not an easy question, and not all Burmese welcome invasion. I asked a friend about it last night, and she wrote on Google Chat, “i want all peaceful way otherwise the victims will suffer more.”

I agree with what Thawta said. Being a Burmese, I understand we all Burmese citizens are hopping the US army would enter Myanmar to arrest Junta and save Burmese people.
We really need help from UN and U.S. Nobody want to see junta will continue power. We Burmese well known that Junta’s army is extremely weak if we compare with U.S army. Junta’s soldiers are not professional like U.S army. Our country is very different with Iraq. I believe Junta’s soldiers won’t even have courage to fight back with U.S army. They will definitely run away if the troops are coming.
Please consider for our suffering Burmese people. Please let the world to understand that we Burmese people are warmly welcome U.S army as well as others countries.
