  Introduction (B)

Clean your body. Shave off excess hair.
Wear cologne. Tighten your shoes.

Read the Koran "pray through the night." Do not leave your apartment unless you have ablution.

Strike your enemy above the neck.

If you slaughter, do not cause the discomfort of those you are killing, because this is one of the practice of the prophet, peace be upon him.

Finally, you should feel complete tranquility, because the time between you and your marriage in heaven is very short."

From terrorist Muhammad Atta's Note

In these decades, we see a lot of suicide bomb attack in Middle East, operation freedom, fall of dictatorship and new world. At the same time, Europeans rail against America " globalization" as embodied by Mc Donald's and Samuel Huntington disputes the thesis of " the end of the history" by pointing out that the great victories won in recent years by liberalism and democracy were mainly in Latin America and Eastern Europe regions of the world that were within the traditional obit of the Judeo-Christian West. In fact, regional experts, subject experts, and professional are arguing and sharing for the future of our human society. In " What's so great about America", Dine D' Souza expands his content " Why they hate us". My nights in Upstate New York are under the attack of heavy snow, and I'm deep in thought of " Why they hate us." On the other hand, I'm also thinking about arrogant Burmese intellectuals who do not fit both Burmese history and American/ European politics. Indeed, when so-called intellectual lost respect from his audience, the value of their perspective view becomes zero, and they should think about the hatred of people and " Why they hate us"

The new Ku Klux Klan

The year is 1840. You are a slave who has tried repeatedly to escape from a cruel and abusive master. An expert is consulted about your " abnormal" behavior. His conclusion? You are suffering from " Drapetomania", a mental disorder that causes slaves to run away (Wakefield, 1992)

After American Civil War, White people formed Ku Klux Klan to oppress black people and to define the beautiful slavery for them. In the Ku Klux Klan, white leaders were very strong in their belief and had a lot of political ideologies for future of America.

But new Ku Klux Klan Burmese organization is different with white Ku Klux Klan. Insulting the revolution forces, shouting "Our I.Q is higher than students on Borderline" " They don't understand World Politics" are their main goal and slogans of so-called intellectual Ku Klux Klan.They try to get rid of our revolutionary forces' spirit with their Degree. But they need to notice that Burmese students are not like their lives in 1990 to 1996 in America, and they gradually realize student activities in American Universities, class assignments, scholarship and profits from politics. In addition, those so-called intellectual need to ask themselves " What is I.Q level?" " What is your professional?" " Regional expert or subject expert or what?" If you are in American Politics, you must answer these questions. But if you are in Burmese politics, you must have at least background history and experience in the battle with Burmese military evils. You also need to respect the people who sacrifice for their motherland and the meaning of comrade. You cannot get those experience and knowledge in your American Universities. You cannot see "the meaning of comrade and sacrifice" from opportunists in exile.

Mozart Effect and I.Q test

Howard Gardner of Harvard University (1993-1999) theorizes that there are actually eight different kinds of intelligence. Those are different mental languages that people use for thinking. Each is list here are; Linguistic skill, logic and math (numeric abilities), visual and spatial thinking, musical abilities, kinesthetic skills, intrapersonal skills (self-knowledge), interpersonal skill (social abilities), and naturalist skills.

(Michael Kearney is the youngest college student in the world. He attended high school at 5, earned an A.S degree in geology at 8, and B.A degree in anthropology at age 10. It is clear Micheal is gifted) (Coon 412)

In fact, Intelligence Quotients (I.Q) is defined as mental age (MA) divided by chronological age (CA) and multiplied by 100.

I.Q = MA/ CA * 100

According to Gordon Shaw and Frances Rauscher, a former concert cellists and an expert on cognitive development express that there are patterns of neurons that fire in sequences, and that there appear to be pre-existing sites in the brain that respond to specific frequencies and believe that listening to Mozart's sonata for two pianos in D major increased SAT scores of students by 51 points.

In my research paper, I argue with their ideology because I had many friends who do not have a chance to learn pianos in the prison won the highest SAT scores after they released from prisons. (Now they are in everywhere in International Universities) Who know they will become like Michael! In this point, my question is what is the different between American Education system and Burmese Education System. Please answer so-called intellectual people who think themselves their I.Q is higher than revolution forces and Burmese students in exile.

Background (2)

Whenever I heard the funny slogans of bluffers in United States, I always ask to all of my brothers such as Ko Than Win, Ko Ko Oo, Ko Yin Aye, Ko Thar Kyaw Maung, Ko Kyaw Thet and other from Indiana " Why did you allow those opportunists to get a political chance?" Their faces become red and angry because they already had the answer. In fact, the first immigrants of 1988 generation came to United States with a lot of bitterness and frustration. They possessed many labels and accusation " those students betray the revolution" " If you apply refugee status, we will expel you from our organization" (10 years later, history shows who are who and what. I don't need to have criticism because everybody knows what so-called student leaders are). When they resettle in exile, they were neglected by mother organization, and they had to face with strangers, different culture, and different political atmosphere. In addition, they responded each other what they believe and what they like in their meeting. If their feeling is not good on someone, they will stay away from him, and later they cut off the relationship. (It is our weak point) On the other hand, they always focus on arm-struggle and inside movement, and they were not interested in seeing with American Congressman and popular politics. The reason is everybody knows only inside people movement and leaders can give the exact answer for our motherland victory. In contract, opportunists are haunting the scholarship programs and proposal by getting advantage from Burmese democracy movement. When they went to school in United States, they realize the point how can they get profits from school activities. The worse thing is they are trying to insult to our students in revolution, and they shoot " Our I.Q is higher than other"

For that point, the questions reply to them " Are you a regional expert? Are you a subject expert? How much involve and sacrifice in our democracy movement?" Remember! Taking the advantage for your life does not mean your I.Q is higher than other.

American Education system and wrong persons in Academic field

"We need to learn Burma and student movements because Burmese people are fighting for their freedom under the most cruel military regime. Burma situation is not like South Africa and economic sanction"

Class notes from Dr. Meeks

In Cornell University, American students and other are taking course " Asian Study", and Burmese specialization becomes popular in their interest. Although I'm studying in United States, I don't need to be arrogant to other because I know many master-mind/ intelligent students are in Burmese prisons. In addition, I have to salute their sacrifice for their motherland Burma. I also know Burmese education level is not low (subjects and facts for degree are same in here) although Burmese education system is heading to the wrong way.

While American students and other are emphasizing on Burma affair, some Burmese intellectual are trying to speak like a parrot because they are lack of knowledge in real events and cannot speak Burmese affair and crisis. The worse thing is they support brotherhood of Khin Nyunt and they try to stab DASSK, NLD and CRPP's backs. But will history allow that stab back?

Warning (3)

Someone who betrays his tribe will not hesitate to betray on other again.

From "The Haj" by Leon Uris

Ye Baw Ba Khet assassinated Tha Khin Than Tun, and he surrendered to Bo Nay Win. Although he called "Master" to Bo Nay Win, Bo Nay Win ignored Ba Khet's reputation and respect because he knew who is Ba Khet.

In our history, we don't want to relationship with even sons of Ye Baw Ba Khet after we realize the Burmese history. I still remember one of my friends comments " Although I don't like communists, I hate Ba Khet because he is betrayer."

In fact, for our future of Burma, we need many intellectuals, politicians, historians and economists. We need both Aung San and Dr. Ba Maw for our political process. But we also know that Aung San can change the history and society.

However, when so-called bluffer intellectual (not like Dr. Ba Maw because Dr. Ba Maw has great history in British colonial era) speak and act like General Aung San, all the people smile and they said " Those jokes are less interesting than Mandalay Anyeint."

Whatever happens, we have got the maxim gun, and they have not.

(Hilaire Belloc)
