Sir Stewart Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 This has been a fascinating story unfolding over the past few days - history in the making. "It's only a matter of time before they start shooting" an onlooker said, a few days ago. Hopefully there will be no more killings...vibes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Interestingly enough, I read somewhere (how's that for a rock-solid reference) that Laura Bush is very interested and involved in Mayanmar, and has been for a while. Now, what "involved" entails, I have no idea, but at least someone in the White House is keeping an eye on the situation. Damn, that almost sounded like I like her or something. Sheesh.

I heard something along those lines on NPR yesterday morning. I was half-asleep at the time and couldn't find anything on their website about it. But yeah, the lil' lady has some interest in the situation, apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilcohead Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 well at least she has some interest in the situation, cause you know something will be done to help since she has interest....... :::Rolls eyes AGAIN:::: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Oh goodie, she's "interested." I bet she's interested in waffles, too... and tapestries. One of my co-workers arrived in Myanmar in August for a two year teaching stint. Schools were closed this week because of the unrest, but so far he's okay. Within walking distance of the Embassy, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SlowBurn68 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 The Dalai Lama's Message to the People of Burma: I extend my support and solidarity with the recent peaceful movement for democracy in Burma. I fully support their call for freedom and democracy and take this opportunity to appeal to freedom-loving people all over the world to support such non-violent movements. Moreover, I wish to convey my sincere appreciation and admiration to the large number of fellow Buddhists monks for advocating democracy and freedom in Burma. As a Buddhist monk, I am appealing to the members of the military regime who believe in Buddhism to act in accordance with the sacred dharma in the spirit of compassion and non-violence. I pray for the success of this peaceful movement and the early release of fellow Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Cheesy that I relate to such a struggle through a pop song, but I've been listening to this a lot lately: What you got, they can't steal itNo, they can't even feel itWalk on, walk onStay safe tonight Interesting story on The World:http://www.theworld.org/wma.php?id=0926076"They have been, for so many years, a closed society and many of the people now in charge have grown up entirely in this militarized society. They don't understand what human rights mean. Because they've been cut off from the western world...they're not welcome...for example, they can't send their sons or daughters now either to the United States or Europe for education. There is almost no one who can tell them what life in a democracy is like." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
