Online Public Relations Thoughts

The generals who have seized power in Myanmar are unmovable.  They are killing their own citizens who are protesting the coup.  As long as they maintain control over their soldiers, they will continue to shoot protestors until they regain total control.  This is the fate of those who cannot muster an equally powerful response to tyranny.  The generals may well win this time and the next and the one after that as long as they don't blink and maintain a hard shell of indifference to the cost of human life.  It's ugly.  But, they are falling back on thousands of years of technique to retain power.  There is no communication between the two sides except at the point of a gun.  As long as soldiers have ammunition, there won't be.  It is a sad come-down for a country whose people crave democracy.
