Burma/Myanmar - things are looking up

[suzywong]

so far so good

wpmder what stance the French (Total Oil) will take on things?

I know, fear it will all end with blood on the the streets again though.
But can't help being temporarily cheered by the sight of all those monks though.

yes, and Ang Sung Sui Chi (sp) got to peep out of her home at the protests, so that's cheering.

And thankfully GWB doesn't know where Burma is on the map so it may not go tits up

Luckily for the burmese junta they have got the full support and backing of the Chinese-- don't even think GW at his most gung-ho would dare take on the People's Liberation Army!
