Should Australia send Troops into Burma??

gVoting begins in Burma referendumFrom correspondents in Rangoon May 10, 2008 10:23am Article from: Agence France-PresseFont size: + - Send this article: Print Email POLLING stations have opened in parts of cyclone-hit Burma, as the military regime asks voters to approve a new constitution just one week after tens of thousands of people died in the storm. The military delayed the vote for two weeks in the areas hardest-hit by Cyclone Nargis, including in the main city and former capital of Rangoon. But the ruling generals pushed ahead with the referendum in other parts of the country, with polling stations in some places open by 6.15am local time (9.45am AEST). How CAN they do this and stall AID for their DYING? How CAN the World be dictated to by not only this but decisions the UN has made? They do not want the US in Burma -so why not Australian Soldiers -we went to war in Iraq without UN consent -why not pull our Troops out of the War Zones -and into BURMA?

Answer:
Long before the first Australian soldier sets foot in Burma, I think it would have to be an ASEAN soldier, because they are south east Asian nations who have agreements with Myanma/Burma and also close ties. It is these nations who also have well trained standing armies who could readily be deployed, but who won't. And so in the the present climate of international dullness that seems to infect world leadership, I think no one can see the obvious thing that needs to be done. We are, I am afraid, led by intellectual dwarfs!

You need to remember that the Junta has no significant concern apart from it's own agenda. This is the real tragedy, and the cause of much of the suffering. The rest of the world still feels that Burma's sovereignty is to be respected, and there is a hard truth in this: no nation wants a precedent whereby sovereignty can be revoked by the UN. The UN has shown itself to be impotent and hypocritical anyway: a few words by a western nation recieve condemnation, and flagrant crimes, such as Mugabe's government in Zimbabwe are ignored. Burma falls through the net because it barely accepts any UN rulings anyway. It should be noted that the antipathy against US influence is hardly unique, and probably justifiable as well because the US has an unfortunate history of interferring in the affairs of other nations. I have no time for the military junta under Than Shwe, but I understand their position. It is a total tragedy that the people will be the ones who suffer, especially those not in political favour in Burma. Australia really lacks the resources for a major operation, and there is the issue of sovereignty to contend with. If we force our way in, then that is a hostile act. It is also logistically impossible to just suddenly relocate our troops to Burma, or for them to conduct what would effectively be an invasion. The Burmese army is huge (several times the size of Australia's entire armed forces), well equipped, ruthless, and has the distinct tactical advantage of home soil and knowledge of the terrain. The election is a sham, but it also shows the nature of how the government thinks over there: their position is pre-eminent.
