The Myanmar Government has gone too far by betting up monks and some were killed by what seems to be one of the worse uprisings by the people against the military ruled government. They even raided monastery and arrested monks just to stop them from repelling the government. When will this conflict end and when will the military government of Myanmar realized that things have to be changed in Myanmar? The people in Myanmar needs a democratic government and not some iron fist military generals who act whatever they like. How could the international society help? ASEAN countries could imposed bans and drop Myanmar from the alliance. The big brothers like UN, US, Britain and China could impose sanctions and other means to stop the escalating unrest in Myanmar. Put aside any self interest and help those in needs first. For the rest of us, all we can do is pray and hope that the Myanmar government will come to its senses and peace will be restored.
