Dear Jacques,

You may be asking me the question, but you know the answer already. With this question plus another personnel question to me, you sounded like that you are acting like my Commander in Chief. It OK Jacques its OK. I don't forget that you are one of the moderators. A MODERATOR.

In the history of Myanmar, France has its place already, like the British and others. In the history of South East Asia, France has its place.

Not only the French ships, thre are English ships, US ships, Russian ships.
I really do not know what other ships there are.

Human disaster is for nobody to take it as scape goat or to take political gain. You know that.

After so many years, the European and US , not to forget France is in the EU have been starving Myanmars making SPDC a scape goat.

After so many years of mistrust, knowingly what the outsiders have in their mind. Would you let them come into your house just like that? I don't klnow about you Jacques, but I wouldn't let anybody into my house, especially those who are not friendly to me. As simple as that.

As I understand it, it was not the aid Myanmar's leader are refusing, it was the foreigners aid workers. Especiall from the west.

I have suggested that why not civilian cargo ship. why not civilian cargo planes, why warships. The war ships from unfriendly nation with soldiers and weapons on board.

You can't blame SPDC for being so cautious or being a little bit over cautious.

What I understand what SPDC is doing is putting everything , not to miss anything into consideration. As they have not met this kind of disaster or devastation before, except during the WW II.

You may have your view Jacques I respect that. European have their European views. We Asians have our own view as well. XCall it we are premative.

In Myanmar the saying is " Ta KLhar Thay Buu - Pyin Borr Nar Le " which means , if you experience death in the house, that house hold will understand how mush the timber cost, to make a coffin.

I can see the world as you see it but you don't see Myanmar as I see it Jacques.

My only suggestion is that France or anyother Western country should hand over the aid for 100,000 people to United Nation and Red Cross and other organisations.

Myanmar understand that the west has a lot to do in middle east and other parts of the world. where huamn are killing other human. What happened in Myanmar is natural disaster. I think Myanmar appreciate whatever country wouldlike to help.

My dear Jacques , I have answered these questions long before you put them to me, if you remember. To remind you, Myanmar is not refusing the aid. it is only refusing to accept some foreigners who said they are aid workers.

Honesty is the best policy. I heard it million of times since I was a child. But this phrase is still being use, beause it is still necessary.

There is something we can do. Taking this as opportunity for reconciliation, confidence building trust building not only among Myanmar but between the west and Myanmars.

Besides, this morning news told me that New Russion President first foreign vist is People Republic of China. Is it for politicking or for the disaster in China?

Have a good day Jacques.

Regards,

Thunderbolts.
