The animals that currently see fit to call themselves Burma’s “leaders” are finding new and better ways to show the world what evil brutes they are. After having seized UN food supplies that were destined for survivors of the deadly cyclone, they are now found to be exporting massive quantities of rice to Bangladesh, to great profit of course, while their people die of starvation, thirst and sickness. Forget eating! says the military Junta, voting on a referendum that will cement their rule permanently is much more important (advocating a “no” can get you three years in jail).

In the meantime China continues to drag it’s feet about asking it’s little brother dictatorship to stop it’s obscene human rights abuses. But then, considering their own record, maybe they don’t think it’s all that bad. Personally, invasion is looking better and better.
