Subject: RE: BS: Should we care about Burmese?
I'm no advocate of military intervention from outside WLD, but I think the situation here speaks for itself.

Nineteen years ago these bastards killed thousands of peaceful protesters, and the outside world knew little and did less about it.

This time comparatively few were killed, largely due to their actions being under scrutiny by the whole world.

It's my opinion that this lot are very lucky Burma is predominantly Buddhist, or there would long since have been a bloody revolution. As I said above, Saffron robed priests are simoly target practise for this government, and the rest of the world should apply every non military sanction at their disposal including a complete boycott of the Bijing Olympics if China makes no move to intercede.
