	I smell a rat. Look at this picture, the signs are printed and in English. Notice the machine gun in the right hand, bottom corner.
The picture in it's original context can be found here: Aid Shipments to Myanmar to Resume; More Rain on the Way

That is a photo of an expat community of refugees of ethnic genocide, taken thousands of miles away from Burma.
They are like any other group of expats and erfugees in the world who exercise speech rights to protest and demonstrate.

So Fox News has used a photo from another event to illustrate "cyclone-ravaged Myanmar". That was my point in the post, not whether or not anybody has the right to demonstrate or to receive aid.
