If you have seen the TV series ‘The Wire’ then you’ll know that it’s all in the game. Too much money is involved and you know who the BIG drugs lords are, look no further than the SPDC and those generals who careers have been in the Shan State. Who else will they trust? Why is Daw Suu now in house arrest? Because she knows too much – this happened after she visited the Wa areas. What happened to the list that the late Johnnie and his comrades took form the Burmese embassy in Bangkok when they raided it? Interested in whose names are on the list? That’s drugs – you can be hanged for a few kilo if caught but the proceeds of drugs money can create an ‘Asia World’ for a Garden State (with no poppies flowers unfortunately). It’s all in a game!

What I have seen is that its not only ethnic groups producing drugs in Burma. Tatmadaw units on fare outpost´s often support and sustain there own livelihood by poppy production as the central army command don´t support them with basic needs – or they do it of simple greed.

From my experience in the Shan state for more than two decades, I have been more than cinvinced that the military led by Ne Win and his proteges never wanted to end the civil war. For, how else could they grow and hold the political power? It was (and still is) their expressed excuse for their coup in March, 1962, as well as holding onto power today. And just look how the number of ehnic groups taking up arms against them grow since then. We could visit Shan and Palaung villages in the hills, even spending over nights there during weekends before that date. We saw no insurgents any where in the Shan or the Kachin state. And no army encampments visible on the east of Naungchio.
The ideal state is a small military as border guards, and an ediquate, well-trained civilian police force (trained in civil law) for civic administration. We are a small and poor nation. (Nonesense we are a resource-rich country.) Military anywhere, any time in history or now is expensive and a big burden on the peaceable life of civilians who must earn their living and, in addition, support the men, equipment and munitions.
A peaceable, total settlement in Burma is long overdue.
We must discard the addhamma vada once and for all. And usher in a dhamma vada for one and all.
My experience tells me that the ethnic minorities are just simple, honest, peaceable people just like the way the the majority rural Bhamas are. It is up to the greedey ones that must watch out and have a little kindness on the poor lot.
You can’t blame the communists. For they are no more. You can’t blame the imperialists. For imperalism is no more. You can’t blame Aung San Suu Kyi. For she is a product of the chaos created by the greedy ones who have been so far unwilling to engage in any peaceable settlement.
