Burma
I really don't know the first thing about the situation in Burma, beyond the fact that they have a military junta that is the target of the fashionable left. I have no idea why the junta came into power, but given its enemies, I suspect that it was for good reasons. I also have no idea of how well the junta is doing, although they certainly get points from me for arresting some activist for "public mischief". UN "Human Rights" Commissars, various professional protesting Buddhist monks, and the Berkeley City Council aren't exactly a major source of credibility.
At some point I will have to investigate the Burma situation.
But not now. I have to leave for Sacramento in about half an hour. Cooking must be done, and I must do it.
If anyone knows of a good non-Leftist source of information on Burma, please let me know.
