[冒頭部分]
Sept. 26, 2007 - Diplomacy is a tough game in Burma. But former Australian ambassador to the country, Trevor Wilson, thinks more could be done to prevent the current unrest from ending in a bloody repeat of the crackdown that killed some 3,000 pro-democracy advocates in1988. So far, the monthlong protests have claimed a relatively low toll: the ruling junta today acknowledged one death after security forces fired on antigovernment protestors in Rangoon; dissident groups say the fatality count is at least five.
