Well, the junta will be listening that's all they do. But many have disappeared and atrocities continue in the silence. This will all be talks. Silence. Talks. Until it resumes to their normal routine. The monks will eventually go back to the monastery. Myanmar has been this way far too long. The audience with Aung San Suu Kyii is but formality. To show that they are listening to international community. But it will be the same Burma. Unless the junta will be ousted, i keep my fingers crossed. China at the moment is silent. They are trying to make a good face/reputation especially for the coming Olympics. They don't want to start on anything that would tarnish them at the moment. India and China both have vested interest in Myanmar's oil and gas production. They are on a tiptoe here. My $0.02 though. :) I still think this will not be solved yet.

These few coming days would be too crucial for Myanmar; if nothing happens metrially and no substantial compromise comes out, like the holding of an election as soon as possible, then one could say the recent protestations in Yangon have gone to nothing and died down. It's back to zero for them. To Sidney: While I hope that China could make such a dent in the talks in a very big way.

While some say that suspending it or completely isolating might make the situation all the worse, yet at least, these would give them enough warning and notice that abuse of power and brutality by government are never tolerated in this age and time. We have gone pass over that stage. To Wil: That is already being done, and local protesters have even called for the ASEAN membership cancellation of Myanmar.

Still, I don't think much will change. Those people who have the power are not thinking like you and me. China don't want any image problems especially since they are hosting the Olympics.

The only thing I can think of that one can do is to boycott Myanmar. Maybe boycott their products, if I knew what they were.

Ironic but it was just the way. To sngl: Yun nga siguro ang turning point sa lahat despite na it's grossly ironic that China has to criticize Myanmar's conduct when it had it's won Tiananmen episode.

She has the military leaders there by the leash, very much like that of the N. Koreans... The key player in this talk is really China.
