It's just for show. Everything it does is just for show. Therefore, expulsion for Myanmar is just for show. But here's the deal. Myanmar is a recent addition to the ASEAN and the main motivation is it's geographical proximity to Thailand. Myanmar and Thailand have been long-time enemies when it comes to border security and scuffles have been numerous in the past. This whole ASEAN membership has given the Thais the ability to better manage the situation. Haha, I used this argument in a debate, bumenta. lol ASEAN has no moral ascendancy. Is Singapore democratic? Is Thailand? Heck, with all the political killings, the Philippines should also be kicked out. Having Myanmar in the ASEAN gives us a semblance of "jurisdiction". Once we leave them alone, they become hermits! Here are the countries who went a similar path - 1) Iran, 2) North Korea and 3) Afghanistan.... not exactly very rosy. The ASEAN is a joke.

EU and US have been on the frontlines already and ASEAN will just meet! JUST MEET! can you imagine?! Even the Philippines at that time when we had that People Power - we were supported by these people yet the Senate has not said NOTHING! The whole ASEAN is silent! Where is Malaysia? Thailand? (Oppss! They're guiltty!) Where is Singapore? (Ooopss Business interests!) Where is Brunei? (Who cares, they got money!) Where is Indonesia? Man! This pisses me off you know!

The US, yes, even GW Bush , has condemned it and has expanded sanctions. Unfortunately, I think ASEAN might be too afraid of China or is waiting for what China intends to do. I hope that they know that China only does what is best for China. They're scared that this could spread in their own country. I doubt they'll condemn it or impose sanctions. ASEAN should show some backbone and say that what Burma is doing is wrong and inhuman. Hello Philippines??? Asia's oldest Democracy..say something!

Habang nag-aararo ako sa bukid ay may hawak akong Manila Bulletin noon at mga lumang issues ng Time magazine na pinupulot ko sa basurahan ng richie rich kong kapitbahay. Nababasa siya nung bata pa ako. Tapos, wan day isang araw, itinali ko yung kalabaw kong si Islaw (yes po, islaw talaga ang namesung ng kalabaw ko) sa ilalim ng puno ng kamoteng kahoy at naisipan kong sumali sa isang quiz bee sa current events. at ang tie-breaker na kwestiyon para sa finals (opo, nakarating po ako sa finals kahit paano at may ka-tie ako for tsampyonsyip) ay sino raw ang lider ng Burma na naka-house arrest (palagay ko po, yung gumawa ng question ay hindi updated sa current events kasi old name na Burma pa ang ginamit niyang name for Myanmar hehehe). e di si Suu-Kyi ang sagot ko. hayun nanalo ako kaya hero ko si Suu-Kyi hehehehehe. ayan inang, essay na itong comment ko. pagbigyan mo na ako. paminsan-minsan na lang ako makapag-comment dito eh hehehe Suu-Kyi was one of my heroes when I was a child.
