Joi Ito, board member of WITNESS, draws attention to the fact that the conflict in Burma has been ongoing for 50 years. "In the last ten years, 3000 villages in the countryside have been destroyed, and the people have been on the run for decades."

Now, Burma was hit by Cyclon Nargis...military junta's are not permitting aid to comming in from outside. Burmese junta's concern have became its photo-opps. They want to look good front of world. over 40.000 people are missing, 20,000 people are dead, but that isn't their concern. Burmese are in their merrcy. How much more can Burmese take?
