The people in Myanmar needs a more vigorous response from Western countries. There no time to waste. On our watch, an entire country could descend into anarchy and chaos. The Myanmar military must be given an ULTIMATUM to free the hostages and restore DEMOCRATIC rule.
What happened in that tiny country could have a DOMINO effect not only in the region, but throughout the world. Aspiring dictators and despots are watching the West's TIMID response to the crisis.
Once again, Western leaders should give the Myanmar military a time table to leave POWER and return to their barracks.
Historically, economic sanctions, embargos alone, never worked. Ten, twenty, fifty years later, dictators manage to survive and outlast many Western governments. Sanctions tend to punish the very people who needs help.
Diplomacy needs real threats behind it. In some respect, just one phone call could diffuse the Myanmar crisis and avoid hundreds of civilian casualties.
