We have no enemy at all. We all have the same objectives:freedom with responsibility, justice, democracy, prosperity, national security, national identity, unity.
With the rest of your message we concur, particularly about reconciliation with the military.
King, people, military are ONE!
If you all understand this concept, there will be progress.

The NLD and NDF obviously have the same ultimate goal and they have the same enemy. Why doesn't the NLD allow NDF to use a similar logo in fighting against the common enemy?
If they cannot solve the bamboo hat issue with each other, how can they solve the country's issues with the junta?
We might need reconciliation among ourselves (democratic forces) before we seek national reconciliation with the military.
REALLY SHAMEFUL!!!

No political party is enemy of any other party. This stupid mindset, driving a wedge amongst our people, belongs to the lowest of the low. Adopt a spirit of sportsmanship. Don't suck up to any divide-and-rule artists from within and without.
At the end of the day, political parties must remember that to govern is to serve!
In any case, coalition is inevitable and adversarial or confrontational mode of parliamentary debate of the West will simply fail to deliver any cohesive policies for the good of the people. With so many parties contesting, it is a real farce. Pity political parties have no intellectual and moral leadership; they haven't grown up yet to understand that democracy is more than playing musical chairs.
Pity our people.

According to one conspiracy theory, there should be mild difference and mild fighting each other until the election date has been fixed.
Then if things are working well, sooner or later the Khamauk and flower will be seen on her head again.
It is working well. The NDF has been approved. This theory should be supported and let it work. Let it fights each other. Cheers!! I love this theory.

It comes to the stage of old Burmese politics in the era under British rule, till the dawn of parliamentary democracies in 1948-62.
Like two otters fighting over a dead fish, the fleshy part would be taken away by the harsh military junta. I think both should stop accusing to each other.
Do as you believe-and history proves your sincerity in the future.

A hat fight turning into a cat fight. Daw ASSK should step in and stop this fiasco as the end result will damage the credibility of the democratic opposition and benefit the USDP.

This infighting can only serve one purpose: losing votes for the NDF. Why on earth would the NLD fogies be trying to do that? They have a common enemy in the USDP and now that the NDF is contesting the election and THERE WILL NOT BE A BOYCOTT, the old NLDers should try to support the NDF.

From posters in this forum, especially by ones whose uncivil name calling to anyone advocating different, as stooges, apologist etc,from within, now the NLD is using "regime authority" to deter others who view differently from participating under closely resembled banners.
No wonder the west can get away with their Neo Colonial, Banana Republic approach to Myanmar problems.
Least of all, acknowledging the damages of their useless careless advocacy that harm the most vulnerable ones and embolden SPDC.
This nefarious "confrontation based" policy of now a non entity NLD is proof that:
We are our own worst enemies.
Call for unity to support the opposition within now rings hollow indeed.

That is the true fighting spirit of the Myanmars. The typical Myanmar's way. That is what they been doing in all their history, fighting over something.
If they have nobody to fight against, they will still fight with their own shadows.
Now they are fighting over a bamboo hat?
What is a bamboo hat? This bamboo hat is a symbol. I said, there are bamboo hats for men, and bamboo hats ( some call it Kha mauk) for women in one of the discussion forums.
Some people are dramatising about this bamboo hat. What is a bamboo hat?
It is nothing new for Myanmars, who put gold and precious jewels on the brick buildings to be sacred and pay homage to it.
Myanmars are funny people, always.
There are living and dead who are much worth to pay homage. A bamboo hat --you must be crazy.

What a fiasco, an argument over a piece of bamboo, the question is for the NLD, why are they behaving in such a way? Does anyone know?
The change for Burma must come from within, and all must work together. The current situation justifies the level of commitment and passion behind these political parties in Burma. No big change could be seen in the near future, furthermore the willingness of the Burmese citizens to change is adversely affected. Most citizens are busy sourcing for their daily meals.

We have not witnessed any party attacking the USDP(Party formed by Criminals) but we already see the NLD's attack on its own child. Instead of attacking, the NLD must rather support or stay quiet at this time. The NLD chose not to cpmpete in this upcoming election. We respect their decision. But some of the NLD's former members are now forming a new party and are trying to defeat the USDP. We want to see that.
The NLD must not try to stick in the 20th Century. What we failed, it may never come back alive. Rather, try to defeat the USDP in this upcoming election and let the whole world watch Than Shwe's fate.

Fighting over a hat piece, a bamboo one least of all, should not be taken as a sign of 'disunity'.
What matters most is the spirit and heart of people who wore the bamboo hat one time in history 20 years ago and claimed a victory.
Of course the majority of personnel in Than Shwe's armed forces preferred freedom and democracy as evidenced in the 1990 polls won overwhelmingly by the NLD in cantonment areas.
And most of the serving officers in the rank and file of the Burma Army were students in 1988, contemporaries of Min Ko Naing and his close colleagues serving long term prison sentences today.
These officers knew in their hearts that they were riding the wrong horses.
However, Than Shwe's divide and rule policy is taking hold at the moment and monetary and other worldly incentives - Than Shwe cited how much money isin his hands during the last army commanders meeting - are too much to look the other way as well.
However, "politics is just a flick of the coin" as they say.
