Bangladesh
Myanmar withdraws warships
2008-11-10
Myanmar withdrew its warships, the oil and gas exploration rig and the fossil fuel exploration vessels from Bangladesh waters yesterday but tension between the two countries still exists as both the nations mobilised more troops along their border.
"Shwe, I been thinking about this whole 'war with Bangla' thing."
"Yeah?"
"When was the last time us Burmese won a war?"
"You mean against another country? Not against monks or students or something?"
"Right."
"Ummm... Lemme see, here... Didn't we fight a war with the Thais in... uhhh... sometime in the 1800s?"
"Right. Did we win it?"
"I don't think so."
"How about the one before that?"
"Nope."
"Bangla used to be part of Pakistain."
"Pakistain's never won a war, either."
"But the Banglas threw the Paks out."
"Oh. I see what you mean. But they had help from India."
"Took a lotta prisoners, too."
"Not officers, though?"
"Officers, too."
"Maybe we should negotiate."
