I thin it is time for the world to intervene and end this military brutality in Burma or Myanmar. It is terrible there. There should be a world wide ban on autocratic governments. Monarchy and autocratic governments and murdered too many people in the history of mankind and it is time for us the present day true humans to rise and end these brutality. Where is the UN where is GW. If we can kill Saddam we can wipe out the army in Myanmar. Let's go do them.

  Why would we care about Burma? What's in it for us, other than yet MORE impoverished refugees who hate the United States, coming to us with their hands out, demanding that we do something about human rights.
  They want our help? Let's see them offer US something, then we'll talk about getting involved.

I always enjoyed seeing the signs that old religious sect from Burma used to put up alongside the roads. You know, the "Shavers."

Apparently the Burmese puppets and the American puppets have the same puppet master. The UN is are not the voice of the people, it is an artery of the New World Order Corporation. When I count to three and hit you over the head with a frying pan, you will WAKE UP!

This is one of the saddest situations in the world today what the Junta in Burma get away with is criminal. Maybe they will end up in the ICC at the same time Bush et. al. do we can always hope.
