Why would a country issue banknotes whose face value is divisible by 9? Why would they report an attendance of 98,100 at a government rally? If that country believed in astrology and the value of lucky numbers, they would do so if 9 had become a lucky number. And, in Burma in 1987 9 did become a lucky number for the country's leader; hence, the bills in denominations of 9 (45 and 90 kyat). An attendance of 98,100 also contains the lucky number (9 and 8+1); ergo, the figure given for a recent government rally. The government's attacks against its people began on 9/18/2007 (9 and 2*9 and 2+7). Tom White of the BBC asks whether Imbari will be speaking with the astrologers as they "hold the key to the leaders' strategy".
White, who was an eyewitness to the 1988 uprising thinks sanctions are a waste unless China, India and other South East Asian nations are involved. He believes that the only hope is revulsion by the troops at the actions they have had to take, particularly that against the monks.

We'll have to call Nancy Reagan and see what she says.
"Sanctions!" is all the international community seems to cry these days. We all know that sanctions cost those at the top some profit, and the ordinary people severe hardship. Why do politicians always want to hurt most those they pretend to help?
