For God's sake, if ever there were a need for international intervention, this would be it. If this ever happened in our own countries for whatever reason, and we found ourselves with sticks and stones against our own armed forces armed with tanks and missiles, we would all hope that someone would step in to help us.

The Burmese people know they can't do this on their own and are pleading for international help. Why is nobody prepared to step in? What if Burma were a major oil producer? Would that change other countries readiness to intervene?

Thanks for all your posts, Rich.

I follow, and read every one.

Not saying this is "right", just an observation of my responses >>
I seem to have lost all sympathy for this racist nationalist woman.
For these party faithful to plead to the world for help (every day) when they said FU to "the international community" when we expressed similar concerns about their own human rights crimes is just plain pig-ignorant.

Sorry, i don't buy the "dammed if she did - dammed if she didn't" argument at all.
Fact is, imo, she is a racist who would not lift a finger of her previously famous and much traded, (now INfamous) "democratic principals" because she does not actually believe in them for non-Burmese.
- and/or was not prepared to spend 1 cent of her huge political capital in leading any change in the Burmese peoples sense of racial superiority.

Just another stinking hypocrite in my book.
Unfortunately the "democratic" desires of the Burmese people have been betrayed by their chosen leader - and themselves.
'Nearly all supporters of human right crimes. What they did and still do to their Rohingya population is just plain foul.

I also observe that i am saddened by my reaction, but it is probably unlikely to change.
The international politicians and ideologues will posture and huff and puff about the military and China but they don't really give Two Hoots about the Burmese any more - and neither do the millions of decent people who formally did.

Very sad - but inevitable when this paragon of democracy said "Fuck Off" to the rest of the world - "i support ethnic cleansing and near-genocide" and all of the Burmese democrats cheered.

Keep the Burmese News Bureau pumping tho', Rich.
It's still fascinating.
