You seem to miss the obvious, its because of Buddhisms pacifism, that killers have gained control of the country. Buddhism is a hippy type religion that talks in terms of skilled and unskilled, rather than right or wrong. In other words, it does not condemn evil like say Christan theology. Criminals running riot is a expected outcome. This is what happens when societies try to create an alternate reality thats partial to evil. Instead of playing by the unspoken rules of not killing the goose that lay the golden eggs, the military decided to do just that. Buddhism has morally disarmed the country. Their military knows this, and sees the hypocrisy. ” Buddhism of course requires abstinence from all forms of killing, stealing and lying, and so is hardly the moral authority for this regime.”
