Clearly the events in Burma are test on world, and yes UN has been seen as ineffective. Somewhere this blogger is not really convinced about how the world will face crisis that effect humanity while they have ethical ambiguity in dealing with thugs in Burma. For this to happen countries that have say in UN should themselves be democratic and value liberty and freedom of individual. It brings into sharp focus the role of countries like China. Its impact on world doesn’t seem to be very positive, whether Burma, North Korea or Sudan. Few people at the helm of affair in certain countries seem to be taking decisions for small time narrow reasons. Lack of democracy in countries is threat to world it is amply clear by countries like China and North Korea. Why undemocratic China has a veto power in UN is questioned?.
This blogger who could be located anywhere in the world finds these hypocrisies and compromises world community make serious transgressions. If they can overlook these and carry on daily affair then events in Burma will find no takers and as Chinese said “these are internal matter” and has even put axe on resolution against Burma in UN, and so vulnerable India will have to take position that will suit its interest rather that what is ethical. Powerful countries like China is turning out be quite disruptive and irresponsible, the lack of ethical compass is reflection of any checks in the system. This blogger strongly believes that common people in china like anywhere else will be appalled by the events in Burma. Chinese people are proud and hardworking it is sad that their aspirations have quelled by an increasingly belligerent regime that has now extended its tentacles towards world. The reason why China helps Junta stamp the aspirations of Burmese people is no different. China is increasingly being seen as threat to civilized world.
Errata: in the last blog word ‘insulted’ is meant to be ‘insulated’.
