I am saddened by the plight of the people in Burma but heartened by their bravery and desire for democracy.
From Air America's Lionel show's blog, the link to Democratic Voice of Burma, and the comments on this article moved me to post some of them here:
Commenter:
The world is rightly outraged by the oppression and suffering imposed on the Burmese people by a violent, heartless regime. Who are we? Will we stand back and watch this, or will we by our actions declare that we are all one and that this is intolerable. When a people are violated and oppressed as here, love does not claim that this is an internal matter. The whole world should move to stop this. Right now.

My sentiments exactly:
This is the clearest defining moment of who we are as the "human race", our values, our beliefs, and what is sacred, and if we looked into the mirror tomorrow can we hold our head up and pride in being a human being. This is it! People! Young people the world over! You want a cause to believe in? Where are you now? Where is your voice?

Want to do something, anything? Sign the Petition to Stand with Burma.
Important information from another poster:
EVERYBODY ALERT!!!!!!!! Now, the government is trying to make a diversion. They give 10,000 kyats (around $7) & a set of Thin Gan(yellow robe) to "Swan Arr Shin"(like USDA which the form as a group that to crash down violently to protester) team and make them to pretend as Monks. Then, command to destroy the Islamic Mosque. This intends to become a fight between Buddhisms & Islams. So, if u hear or see the news that the monks are destroying the Mosque, these are not real monks. They are just fakes. As u all know, the real monks have no intention like that. So, give this information to Islams who u know and tell them From Ko Htike web site http://ko-htike.blogspot.com/ News from Burma
