Evidently the press is not getting the real story - thousands of protestors have been killed and hundreds of monks have been executed - this according to a high level official that has just defected from the country tonight

Reminds me of Tiananmen Square in China, 1989. Over 7,000 killed.

I like Bush's speeches on the issue over there - "yep theyre having them some problems"

I know youre kidding - cause I was making a joke - although its just about what he's said in every speech for the last three days or so - even the UN speech - he's been blowing off the whole issue and lettign the UN send one guy over there to see what he can do - so much for wanting to help the world - but its expected - its the same talk he does for Darfur and every other little country he cant be bothered with

I actually haven't had time to hear anything Bush said recently. I was more interested in what the little yak in the men's only jacket had to say, and reaction to him.

What do you expect him to do, though, outside of the UN?

I mean, it's not like we can threaten to invade everybody.
