Burma may be the first nation wide uprising that never results in appropriate government changes, since the Czechoslovakia uprising in 1956. Burma can do this to their people since any power that be - that might demand protection of human rights - has been subverted or been turned cautious or adversarial by the United States. Any nation that could have answered UN calls for a solution will not do so for a long list of reasons directly traceable, in part, to America's overt attempts to undermine the UN (ie John Bolton) and to turn every problem into a 'them verses us' agenda.
Under George Jr, we now have enemies or adversaries everywhere where none existed 10 years ago. Situations such as Sudan, Somalia, Burma, Nigeria, and so many other central African problems will only get worse. The only exception - and no thanks to the US - was the French led solution on the Lebanese Israeli border.
There is almost no way to post on this subject without expressing bias. Those who support the current military government (who also agree with UG's political agendas) call it Myramar. Those who want protection for fundamental human rights call that nation Burma.
