Hoping for a National Reconciliation
_ By Dr. San Oo Aung
Myanmar/Burma Military Junta’s stubborn pride still stands in the way of common sense and dignity. Their arrogant stand of “Don’t you dare challenge” prevails in Myanmar Political scenario nowadays. They ignore the meaningful dialogue, and they don’t have a desire to start a reconciliatory move for power transfer to civilian rule, or even wish to share the power with the opposition. They just try to buy time by fooling the whole population of Myanmar and the world. SPDC had played the deceit and sham diplomacy by announcing the charade road map to democracy.
We hope that the Military leaders could see the truth and have enough wisdom to get out of the political quagmire in our beloved country. We are against the Myanmar Military Domination but not against the Myanmar Military Personals. We do not keep the hatred of our enemy in our hearts but must try to forgive them.
The best and sweetest revenge is forgiveness. We must try to forgive and forget. With the forgiveness we can change our enemies into our best friends. There is a saying that even if we have a thousand friends, it is not enough. However, even if we have one enemy, it is too much. We must cultivate mutual trust and understanding among all the people of Myanmar/Burma, on both side of political divide, irrespective of race or religion. We need to promote mutual understanding and respect of all of us. Let us not provoke each other. Let us promote mutual understanding, mutual love and mutual respect for each other. Mutual trust is important. We must try to understand our enemies or the SPDC Junta. We must be considerate. We must reduce confrontations and promote dialogues aimed for common good. Mutual confidence and trust will break down our unnecessary shields of suspicion and hatred.
Now, if SPDC military regime keeps on refusing all proposals for national reconciliation in Burma, what else is left? Do we all want to stay under the boot of SPDC forever?
According to the Nobel laureate eeconomist, John Nash, most of the politicians played along the line of this classic ‘game theory’. The best GAME Strategy for Burma/Myanmar is for all of the people, political parties, ethnic minorities and religious groups to be united and negotiate with the present Military leaders to start a sincere national reconciliation process which will open up the way forward to the development of our country for the good of our future generations.

Dear Dr. San Oo Aung, with best regards: Your commentary is so nice, if it is implemented by Masala, Slorc or Spdc what they never try to understand the whole people of Burma and They have no any human sense. They are really bewildered otherwise they must consider the issue of the human rights. You can see that, Selling natural resources spoiling the environment and keeping the money in there pocket but no any public is benefiting by it. We Burmese need to take arm and unilaterally fight against this worst mafia gang until unless they surrender to the population of Burma.
