  • Burma's being covered in the News because they are having PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTESTS that ended in bloodshed and violence, followed by man-hunts for Buddhist Monks (of all people) and a large majority of this was CAUGHT ON VIDEOTAPE.

    Video = visual proof/entertainment = News

    ------------------------------­--------

    THis isn't the first time there have been protests in Burma. It happened in the 1980's as well. Thousands were killed and wasn't shit shown on the news.

  • The question is, why Burma all of a sudden being covered in the news? Follow the money trail...

  • Burma in soulsplit

  • We will not be in mercy of China. Just stand by and doing nothing while China thinks its can run this show itself is the apeasing to China. I believe this is matter of "will" on our part.

  • China not happy ??? I do not think that with all the diplomatic support from Chinese and the money they dole out (its easy for them to buy a couple of goons in milirary garb than win over real leaders) it may well be another Rwanda or Darfur.

    Why dont we start exposing these Burmese and Chinese diplomats (UN or otherwise) with cameras and Bullhorns and reverse their own "We have your pictures.. we'll get you"

  • I hope so too.

  • I looked at your YouTube homepage and I understand what you are saying. I agree with you but, in this country we have to stand up for what we believe in a strong way. Engaging those forces is dangerous, but necessary. The monks in Burma clearly understand that. As he said, "engagement not apeasement."

  • Thanks for the post

  • OneWorld is the one we live in.

    OneLove is the universal feeling.

    Peace is what we should look fore in life to find it.

  • That one world slogan is being peddled by the most powerful, deceitful people in the world. They call it The New World Order, and it is anything but peaceful.

  • Maybe true there.

    Let's hope they will do something and not be always negative.

    OneWorld

    OneLove

    Peace

  • Any athletes who boycot the games will simply be replaced. No major country would boycot the games because they don't want to risk their good relationship with China.
