After the pathetic govt. of Burma has refused to allow us and others to help these people isn't it a great case for a regime change?

I mean talk about genocide? With the disease and starvation that these dictators are allowing in it amounts to genocide.

We are still a little busy working on a regime change in Iraq.

The government of Burma ( myanamar ) is very secerative and extremely effective. Millions of the Kachin have been systematically murdered, villages destroyed and millions fourced into exile on the thailand boarder in refugee camps.

The government moved at the governmental and military offices into the middle of the jungel away from the coast. Something like moving Washington D.C. to the middle of the forest of kentucky.

china is its biggest backer and trader. china fears a democracy to close to its boarders, so will not impose any sanctions on Burma.

The miliatry is ruthless. It recruits children from the villages with no parents, they are trained that the only parents they have, the only one who cares for them and will provide for them is the state government.

I received a email from our director there and they told me that they cannot believe that they survived the cyclone. Everything they have is gone. Our orphanage is destroyed, their home, church. We are working to get funds to them at this time, which is a very hard thing to do again because of the government. It is a beautiful country and the people are very precious. I have been there twice and pray to return as soon as possible.

First let state that I understand that what I am saying that this is something Hollywood put out, and not real life BUT....

The movie "Beyond Rangoon" is based on a true story and gives you just a glimpse of the savagery of what life is like there. I remember the first time I saw this movie it haunted me for many nights.

Paul my prayers are with your people there.
