"Would Burma be Opening Gates of Hell by Putting<http://www.tayzathuria.org.uk/bd/2006/11/19/ksl.htm>" _ Commentary: Ko Sala* * * _ No matter how the Burmese population would decide to bring the military junta to justice I certainly would not like to see gates of hell opened in Burma but I look forward to seeing the gates of reconciliation and new Burma opened............ *VI. "People decide with their hearts but not with their brains<http://www.tayzathuria.org.uk/bd/2006/11/19/badn.htm>"_ Commentary: Bo Aung Din* * *_ People decide with their hearts but not with their brains.
