Getting Worse In Burma - Bear Witness * Update*












Surfing the news for you again, because why should I reinvent the wheel?

For the latest up to date, comprehensive information, you may want to start at Yahoo News, which provides a great AP story and a lot of great links to other good stories. I liked this link the best because it provides outside links to news sources besides AP and I think it is good to see people getting information everywhere. I can tell you which links you may want to avoid, however and which are worth your time. Watch the videos! I can't get to them. The server is overloaded!

My original first recommendation for best information on Burma today was ABC News. This link will take you to the latest news and best of all, on the left hand side, give you several great links to other Burma related stories, such as Burma or Myanmar, and photos. The photos, to me, are very important. When I saw these of robed monks in these photos I found it rather majestic and beautiful. This is how I want life and the world to be. What life and the world is, however, is summed up in the photos of the "police" getting out of the van, the bloody monk and the chaos of the tear gas. There is no beauty or majesty in those photos. There is nothing but grim ugliness; it is the jackboot in the face of mankind which Orwell wrote about which we are seeing in those photos.





Look at what the people are asking.... PLEASE USE OUR LIBERTY TO PROMOTE THE FREEDOM OF BURMA!

The woman quoted in the photo above, the democracy leader and Nobel Peace Laureate, is in jail!
