Actually, for whatever reason the regime in Burma has a very bad reputation among leftist news sources—unlike the equally bad regimes in numerous Muslim or leftist countries.

But, of course, that still doesn’t mean that these peaceniks will actually DO anything about it, any more than they have actually done anything about Tibet, other than buy T-shirts.

Thanks for posting this. I read the whole article at the site. And now they're dealing with the cyclone, in addition to everything else. And we think we have problems?
