The clever Bush (Iguana)

Myint Maung Aye


In an atempt to avoid the Iraq crisis he was going to face at the United Nations General Assembly. Bush (his name rhyming the term of an iguana or in a state of very poor), though his followers, submitted to the UN the exaggerated issue of Myanmar where there was no problem. If compared with the Iraq crisis of Bush ( the iguana)the exaggerated issue of Myanmar was just a trifile matter.It was very small indeed. He was too clever. He replaces his problem of Iraq crisis he had to deal with at the UN with Myanmar issue. Could it be possible for him to cover up the foot print of an elephant with the mouse skin (goal hide)?
He has to take note that it would be a temporary solution to the problem. No god would forgive him for the sins he had commited. If he had not started the crisis there would not have been the deaths of more than 4,000 American soldiers and that of more than 50,000 Iraq pepole, There would not be any economic slump in the US either. A large sum of US dollars need not have to be wasted on military spending. There will not be any rise in the price of oil, of course. There would not be any problems at all unless the fellow started the Iraq war.
As a member of the global people, as his true friend and out of sincere good will, I would like to remind him. What is certain is that Mr Bush and his country would suffer in return for the military, economic and political problems he had created in Iraq, Afghanistan and the workd over causing widespread distress of the world population. There would be reaction for any action. So, he had to repay the debt of his wrong doings.If he is repentant and starts doing good work. If he saves all the money ear-marked for military spending and intelligence costs and donates them to the world nations, there will be no enemies, but friends who will protect him joining hands among themselves.
Friends and youths of Myanmar, I am telling you what kiond of a person Bush is, out of my goodwill. You have thought highly of him, haven't you? I do not know for certain what kind of country and people to which Bush belongs.What is certain is that the world people had not been pleased with the country and the people of Bush for their bullying nature in the past. When, Mr Bush came to power the people began to hate his nation even more because of him. In other words, Bush whom you have thought highly of is the bane of the world people. He is hated by many. Friends and youths, are you going to make him your mentor?
Please weight things up. Find out the true nature of someone you are going to make your mentor.The follower of an evil person will be a similar one like him.He wins the nod or support of his associates simply because of his political, economic and military strengths. Once he was said to have expressed what kind of nationality his was with thumbs up whenever he boarded the plane.Now , they are surrounded by enemies ans so, they are not in a position to say to which nation or nationality they belong.It is pretty bad.
Friendsand youths, are you willing to associate with such people? I am worried about the company you are going to keep. Sometimes, one wrong step taken by someone is not necessarily concerned with the one in question only.It may adversely affect his relatives, his society, his race and his nation as a whole. So, be careful.
I am writing about the"Igunan" just because I hate him and his people. I am writing this to inform my friends and my relatives so that they will not be tricked or misled.
Mr"Iguana" rythlessly conspired a scheme spending as much as two million US dollars to cause a problem to Myanmar for a time so that he would be able to avoid the question of Iraq crisis to be raised at the UN Security Council True, there was a little inconveniences in Myanmar. However, the people of Myanmar are well known for their loving-kindness.They have faith in the benefits or otherwise of what they have done,good or bad. They uphold truthfulness. In other words, the fate originates in the good will. Well, the loving-kindness and goodwill of the present leadership towards Myanmar(own nation) is incomparable to that of the notorious international rogue Mr"Igunan" or that of his minions- destructive elements at home and abroad.
Today's leadership and the people (good people)of Myanmar have been doing their bit for the building of their nation despite the hindrance of Mr"Iguana" or economic sanctions. All over the nation, one and all will witness social, health and education facilities, transport and communications infrastructures, bridges and irrigation networks that have been brought about.
On the other hand, the winner of numerous awards who has been nurtured by Mr"Iguana" and associates is not found to be spending her cash reward well-being of Myanmar or on her party. I have learned that a two-storey or three-storey building or something has been built on the Downing Street in England. Myanmar people resident in England will known whether it is a rumour or the truth. I do not want to say for sure since I have not seen it personality. Interested persons are requested to make enquiries.
Shall we study the patriotism of the woman nurtured by Mr"Iguana" and associates During her stay in England for 15 years I learned that she never went to the Myanmar Embassy. She was said to have sent someone to the embassy to renew her passport. She did not attend ceremonies of Myanmar. For her it seemed that the ceremonies organized by the Myanmar Embassy in England were nothing much but something to be looked down. What she favoured were the Western dances and ceremonies . But now she is saying that she loves Myanmar dearly. She sometimes wore traditional Myanmar cotton blouse(pinni ingyi). A person who never kow-towed at the tomb of her father but just bowed her head, was said tl have paid obeisance to the protesters walking in procession. Let it be. It is quite without my intention to write about Mr"Iguana" and her. I am just reminding my friends and youths in order that they may not associate with bad company. If they get into bad company there will certainly be ill effects the way a leaf smells foul if it has been used for packing foul fish.
A study of the recent political manocuvre conspired by Mr"Igunan" and his associates and the traitorous elements at home and abroad will show that they would not spare even the monks, revered by the goverment and the people as one of three Gems. They did so for the success of their party . They organized and instigated the young monks making the latter arrogantly breach the Vinaya rules formulated by the Buddha Himself to protect the Sasana (Buddhism). Good spirits very well know what is in the minds of unscrupulous elements. What they would like to see was the sufferings and the anxiety of the largest number of people. Mr"Iguana" and his minions or traitorous elements inside the nation were not pleased when their scheme did not work as expected. The Sasana or Buddhism being harmed and disintegration of the nation - these are evil consequenses the government and the people could not afford or they could not remain indifferent to them. So, the government had to act under utmost control ensuring minimum losses.
Mr"Iguana"and associates such as VOA, BBC, and RFA were instigators inciting people to violate the law and law breakers were agroup of extremists nurtured by Mr"Iguana" for ready use and a handful of inexperienced people. In fact, such persons are the people of Myanmar. On the other hand, the government is duty-bound to allay anxiety of the good people and protect them by ensuring the rule of law. When a problem arises solutions are to be found and actions has to be taken followed by losses and sufferings to the people of this land. The nation gains nothing. Obviously, the people of the nation of Mr"Iguana" will not be among those suffered. The persons in the country nurtured by Mr"Iguana", you should not expect to make profit. The biggest loser will be you and your country.Keep wait and watch, if you do not believe me. You will be punished, for sure.
When opportune, for information of the public, I would like to write about the remnant BCPs ( Burma Communist Party) under ground, who played a supporting role in the movie directed by Mr"Iguana". That is all for now. It is up to the wise and good people to consider and decide the rest themselves.

It also attended the National Convention. Like other delegate groups, it participated in the discussions in order that fundamental principles and detailed basic principles could be laid down at the National Convention.
As the fundamental principles and detailed basic principles have been adopted after coordination and discussions based on Myanmar’s prevailing conditions, we firmly believe that they are the most suitable for the State and the people. Our organization welcomes the Commission for Drafting State Constitution that is going to draft a constitution based on the fundamental principles and detailed basic principles.
At a time when seven-step Road Map is being implemented collectively, we declare that ours is not a follower of any party.

The Wa National Development Party supports formation of the Commission for Drafting the State Constitution with the participation of national legal experts by the State Peace and Development Council according to the Announcement No 2/2007 on 18-10-2007.
Furthermore, the party welcomes the assignment of Minister U Aung Kyi as Minister for Relations and holding of discussions with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
However, it is inappropriate if Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is doing as her duty the affairs of parties/ national races as mentioned in the recent statement issued in Singapore by United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Adviser Mr Gambari, on her behalf.
Wa National Development Party attended the National Convention from 1993 to the final stage. We hereby announce that we support the principle on parties and national races affairs adopted by the National Convention.

Date 14 November2007
The Shan State Kokang Democratic Party is a political party formed with the aim of introducing democratic practice to the State and enabling Kokang people to enjoy rights together with othernational races.
The Shan State Kokang Democratic Party believes that the National Convention was a forum where political parties, national race groups and other mass and class organizations in Myanmar were able to hold discussions widely. The party also believes that fundamental principles and detailed basic principles adopted by the National Convention represent the desire of the entire people. Discussions were made for emergence of the selfadministered zones in the National Convention. As a result, Kokang self-administered zone comprisinging Laukkai and Kongyan Townships was included in laying down the fundamental principles. It is obviously found that the National Convention can bring about the opportunities that had not been included in the previous constitutions for national races. After holding the National Convention successfully, the government formed a Commission for Drafting State Constitution on 18-10-2007 for continued implementation of seven-step Road Map. The party supports and welcomes the measures.
In the statement of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi issued on 8 November, it is found that some points imply that her party will represent the national races. Such expression is not in conformity with the attitude of our party and we cannot accept it.
Vice-Chairman-2 of Shan State Kokang Democratic Party U Yan Kyin Maw on 23 May 2007 resigned of his own volition from the illegally formed Committee Representing People’s Parliament.
It is found that the statement of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi issued on 13 November through the UN Special Adviser falsely said that SSKDP supports and welcomes her statement.
The SSKDP does not know the statement at all nor agree to it. We do not accept using of the name of the SSKDP and condemn it.
We announce that the party will continue to take part in the tasks with seriousness in accord with the sevenstep Road Map.
