    Comment: we do need the international community to come forward with "attention" to the real happenings in burma, but what we really need is for a definitive removal of this corrupted regime...We DO NOT need them nor do we need jst words to "persuade" them to make change...if they had ever been sincere bout making changes,they wud have done so more than 20 years ago...the problem lies in f**king China and Russia backing the military regime....U.S has to look for an opportunity to strike...we need help....

    Comment: Why hasn't the press (yes, you Newsweek) and , of course, our politicians (who are too busy trying to get elected or creating their heritage) made the contemtible conditions in Burma more front and center? What an ideal opportunity to stand up against a deplorable situation! After all, the junta has laid the opportunity in our laps, again. How can we ignore it ?When I was in Burma last year, I was aghast at the living conditions of the people and the suppression of the government. Get it off the back pages and into the conscience of the people outside of Burma everyday until the junta really feels the pressure. Let's try to help these people!
