Dear U Kyaw Myaing and MokeHimKha,

Whether change is coming or not, you just have to look at recent pictures of Than Shwe being led off support by 'a-nar-pyas' in Mizzima. A place in hell book ahead of him was another military dictator, Mr Suharto of Indonesia. The only difference will be one would have to go the 'non-pork eating section' and another to the 'pork-eating section' but hell will be hell.

The families that they left behind can bribe the ruler of hell (aweizi-min) with all the loot they have collected by robbing their own fellow citizens I don't think it will help.

If U Kyaw Myaing said that we should look at the issue in terms of Abhidhamma then it will be clear that at Than Shwe's funeral he might not even have the 'funeral rites' performed for him by the monks (most of them are either in jail, overseas or killed on his orders). He'll reap what he sowed.

Unless the mindset of whoever succeeded Than Shwe in the military, there is no way that Burma will have a peaceful transition. If you really believe in the 'cause and effect' ot the Patthana or what's been taught in the Abhidhamma, then wait and see whether the killing among themselves will start, sooner than later. You can bank your money on that.
