凱利表示，美國呼籲緬甸政府應停止軍事行動，並與少數民族及(阿波羅網編者註：新加坡官媒聯合早報在此處刪除了民主二字)反對陣營進行真正的對話。

美國國務院的一名發言人星期一表示，華盛頓對暴力表示非常擔憂。他敦促軍政府和反叛組織，以及緬甸民主反對黨之間進行對話。美國之音 （阿波羅網編者註：不知道美國之音為何用反叛組織，視頻中的美國發言人明明說的是"少數民族"）

Urging an End to the Violence in Eastern Burma
Ian Kelly
Department Spokesman
Washington, DC
August 31, 2009
The United States is deeply concerned over the attacks by the Burma Army in eastern Burma against several ethnic nationality groups, and we continue to monitor developments carefully. The brutal fighting has forced thousands of civilians to flee their homes for safety in Thailand and China, and reduced both stability and the prospects for national reconciliation. We urge the Burmese authorities to cease their military campaign and to develop a genuine dialogue with the ethnic minority groups, as well as with Burma’s democratic opposition.
