Yeah, the government afraid of people, so they kill as many people as they can to make sure that no Democracy Movement happen again. They don't care people suffering,they care only making money for themselves by selling country resources and buy more weapons. That's why they look like stinky poop.

@mugsrootbeer ---------They will soon fall, and the world will be a better place.------->Yep. MYanmar junta will fall, Syu Kyi will take over, ethnic armies will step up their pressure for independent homeland, anarchy will break loose, UN will go in, and we will see a US friendly dictator installed instead...

yay!

I feel very bad for the civilians brutalized here, but to be objective, in this crackdown, \ United Nations figures pointed the death toll at 31. More people died in Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992- the toll there was 52.

People in Burma hate their oppressors. When British, French, and American warships anchored off the coast to assist cyclone victims, many frantically called Western embassies and said "You're coming to save us, aren't you"?

The task is to make sure that not only does democracy win, but that the perpetrators and Dictator Than Shwe face justice.
