President Bush told the United Nations that most of us here in America were concerned about the conflict between the people and the government of Burma. Of course, none of the folks that I know were talking about Burma at all. We focused on Jena Six, Genarlow Wilson, Megan Williams and such. However, thousands took to the street today in Myanmar (Burma) . Bush may have been right for first time in his presidency...
what a great WW.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this information.
ReplyDeleteLove the WW! Thanks for visiting mine!
ReplyDeleteIn DC, the Burma case is being followed closely. As I'm sure people in other places in the US are following it also.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have alot of opinions about what our dear President does and doesnt do...I think I will keep my mouth shut on this one. Happy WW and thanks for stopping by:)

ReplyDeleteIt looks as if the Burmese police and military have started a crack down on monks' protests. At least one monk has been murdered.
ReplyDeleteThe people of Burma deserve better than a brutal military government.
Thanks for the fill in...sometimes I reallize too late that I'm completely uninformed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting WW.
ReplyDeleteAny form of oppression must be quashed. Great job
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad that a monk died...sad situation indeed! great ww, very different, I may add
ReplyDeleteHappy ww :)
Interesting WW. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteInteresting subject for WW. I've been keeping abreast of most of the topics you listed. Thanks for visiting today.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shot of Bush!!! Ugh! Come by my blogs: maryt.wordpress.com and workofthepoet.blogspot.com. They are both about Burma...
ReplyDeleteI had heard about the protest...but didn't connect it to Burma. Interesting debate on MSNBC's Tucker on Jena today...
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard anything about Burma until now.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thx for your visit on WW.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty ignorant also. 2nd week I had to write, here, that I am embarrassingly ignorant. So thank you for the heads up.
