Some recent news. Take it with a pinch of salt. However, the U.S and the U.N have submitted they are "looking into the alleged war crimes in Burma" (Roughly quoted). The usage of the word "alleged" by them is, in my opinion, rather insulting and offensive considering the countless documented war crimes.

What year is this taken? 10 years ago yesterday? A date would be nice.

Tourism could help the country but this would scare away any one trying to visit.

You really need to know about something prior to commenting on it. This has happened and still happens since the 1960's. Tourism will only end up with the tourists being shot by the same Junta already commiting this genocide. I hope it does scare any idiot away from visiting this area in it's current state!

[shanrelief]

Watch the new Rambo movie to understand the area a little better. That is exactly how it is there and those "missionaries" that are killed is exactly what would happen to your helpful tourists.

The same way the legue of nations failed with the Nazis, The Un has failed in Somolia, Ruwanda, Dopfor and now Burma. When will people relize that the UN in united in nothing and they are just as guilty for allowing it being done by the junta military goverment

This is the current situation in Burma (Myanmar).

This has been going on for about 60 years.

Also my people the Hmong in Laos are still persecuted as of today from the Vietnam war. Those in the Jungle are doomed to an eternity of torments and those that escape are still being push back into Laos.

@AtaArticles

Whilst I do love the UK, I am sickened by the complete blind eye we turn regarding Burma. Some one needs to sort out those sick bastards. Those people haven't a chance on their own.

@SamusDrake Libya has oil, Burma doesn't. US/UK fight for their economic benefit aswell

[SamusDrake]

What angers me about this situation is that everyone is moving for Libya all of a sudden with "what is Gaddafi doing to his own people?", but how is Burma any different?

Where is the defence for these poor souls who are suffering from terrible brutality?

[allain14]

having your family harmed generates hate. hate generates descrimination which leads to war. In this world of ours where real peace is measured on how much money its government can spend on military weapons. Until we sort out our indifferences there will never be peace in this world. And as hard as I could admit. I think there is no hope for understanding each other to achieve eternal peace.

@myintyee how do you kid

While all these people die, the UN is sitting at their council room thinking "How can we saction Israel?" While although the Israel-Palestine situation is complicated. Things like Burma, Sudan, South India, Uganda, and many other parts of the world are not complicated.
