You need to see (in the context of the junta's refusal to accept outside
experts) that Burmese dying for lack of aid will not understand that you
criticize "outside experts" for academic accuracy.
After the end of the Second World War, in response to widespread criticism
that the Pope in particular and the Roman Catholic Church in general did
not
oppose the Nazis, the Church said that Pope Pius XII had opposed the
Nazis,
privately.
Camus famously responded:
"...For a long time during those frightful years I waited for a great
voice
to speak up in Rome. I, an unbeliever? Precisely. For I knew that the
spirit
would be lost if it did not utter a cry of condemnation when faced with
force. It seems that that voice did speak up. But I assure you that
millions
of men like me did not hear it and that at that time believers and
unbelievers alike shared a solitude that continued to spread as the days
went
by and the executioners multiplied.... ...What the world expects of
Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear, and that
they
should voice their condemnation in such a way that never a doubt, never
the
slightest doubt, should rise in the heart of the simplest man. That they
should get away from abstraction and confront the blood-stained face
history
has taken on today".
I assure you that the Burmese do not understand that you are on their
side.
You should voice your condemnation of the junta "in such a way that never
a
doubt, never the slightest doubt, should rise in the heart of the simplest
man."
Or you are failing your moral duty.
