A picture is worth more than a thousand words

Today, the Burmese soldiers virtually rule the streets. Almost two weeks of the peaceful protests led by the Buddhist monks in thousands dramatically has evaporated after the regime's ruthless butchery. Despite an upsurge of international outrage, reports on continuous physical attacks on monks and innocent people continue to be broadcast to the world.

No one can precisely tell how many people were killed, injured and detained. Besides the official confession of killing thirteen people, no final report has confirmed the death toll and the number of the arrested and missing people in this atrocious onslaught. There are only rumors and unconfirmed news across the Internet world that hundreds died and thousands have been arrested. After all, it looks like the vicious military regime with decades of enslaving people is winning again!

It is painful to know that the powerless are terrified these days when they hear the police shouting from the military vehicles patrolling the streets, "We have photographs. We are going to make arrests!" Around the city, the soldiers and their paid-USDA gangsters are monitoring and intimidating people with harassments, threats and warnings.

Well, these heartless loyalists of tyrant Than Shwe do not seem to know that their vicious crimes against humanity are being recorded in thousands of photos and videos. This time, they can never escape from their perpetrated atrocities. Bo Than Shwe and his cronies must remember that, with ample evidence of their crimes, the world is waiting for their judgment day and it is coming soon. The thuggish generals must anticipate that their days are already being numbered.
