Can United Nations change the political crisis and bring democracy to Burma?

I wouldn't count on anything that isn't related to Iraqi having anything done with it by the US.  On the other hand...does Burma have oil?  If the answer is yes, then it is a possibility!

well, if the people werent so outspoken against ridding the world of a bad influence and a troublemaking nation, and voted their tax dollars to military operations, yes, it could be quite easy. even easier if the US were to break from the UN and disregard any Geneva Convention violations. the Geneva Convention and the UN only work for the countries who participate, all others fully intend to settle conflicts in their own manner

Unfortunatly, Myanmar is too close to China for its people to get any help from the UN.  Both China and Russia would block any attempts in the Security Council to do anything to free the people there.  ASEAN doesn't care since "Big Brother" China would block action there too.  While the US does care, and there is support to bring down the Junta in Myanmar, there is little we can do (Most people in the world don't even know where Myanmar even is).  The world community is notorious for not acting and then blaming the US when something goes wrong.\n\nAnd for the 80,000th time, stop the "war for oil" "two minutes hate" BS.  The US only exports 10-15% of the Mid-East's oil.  Most of it goes to China, India, Japan, Russia, and the EU.  And if you look at the finding on the "oil for food" scandel, guess who you find at the top of the suspect list?  Hint:  Not the US or the UK.  But hey, why let facts get in you way...

Yes, UN is outdated and could not survive without the U.S.A. The big fix is that the security council needs to be re-constituted with the following most populous and influential nations in the 21st Century:\n\nUSA\nChina\nRussia\nIndia\nEuropean Union\nIndonesia\nBrazil

as long the thai goverment feed the corrupted Burmese goverment with money so they keep the power, then it will take many years.\nThe thai goverment is afraid the burmese open their borders for tourist because they know the tourist stream then will turn into burma rather than thailand. So they continue feed them with money, even they hate them as hell. But the tourist business means alot to thailand.

Nepal's got some problems, they got Maoist revolutionaries knocking down the front door, and a monarchy that needs to leave by the back door , so democracy can form. Am very surprised the US is just idly watching this. We're on the verge of losing Nepal to China.It wouldn't take as much to form a democracy there, as say Afghanistan, If we could just get the monarchy to listen, and let us or India, anyone really,{except China} put in a few thousand troops for stability.

This looks REMARKABLY like a homework question.  You really should do a bit of research on this so that you can LEARN the answers.  You need to access some political science journals and I would encourage you to read Robert Dahl (who writes EXTENSIVELY on the subject of emerging democracy) as well as doing a bit of research on TRANSITIONING democratic regimes.....I can steer you but i will NOT give you the answer. ;o)

I think each country must fight it's own wars if it wants democracy.  If the people want it badly enough they'll do so, it's not up to others to step in and hand it to them or cram it down their throats.

It's headed towards a disaster. What is the UN doing? Anyone home?

Revolution.  After two suspicious elections, you can no longer trust the democratic process.  You would probably find that several countries would support revolutionaries, should they come to a position of power.

Why keep the UN at all? It is a joke. For people who need help, the best they can hope for from the UN is to not be raped by their 'peacekeeper' forces.\n\nWe could set up a union of free and willing democratic states who would actually step up and fight wrongs in this world.

When all the people who hold the power abandon their real intention of suppression over the citizens and give the people who live there a full human rights,Myanmar will get democracy.The country of which government is supported and elected by a majority of citicens can be said a democracy country. Myanmar is not. It is a dictatorship country.

Countries should be democratic and try to solve their differences through diplomacy!

You should do more research on the UN. They don't get any publicity when they are successful. They have prevented many civil wars since the 70's, such as Crete, Haiti, etc.
