It smells like count down to revolution, and the fall of regime! It's getting larger and larger, day after day. Let the dominoes of rainbow revolution keep on flipping!

“t smells like count down to revolution...”

Yep.

Other than an end to the military junta, what do the monks want? What does “democracy” amount to in the Burmese context? I know little or nothing about Burma/Myanmar, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Buddhists want Buddhism to be the official religion there, and that other religions should be suppressed, or at least rendered second-class, disadvantaged. Maybe that would be necessary to counter Muslim militance, but, if true, it hardly matches up with Buddhism’s image as peaceful and unworldly. Can someone who knows more tell me if what I read is correct?
