All I know to do, from the US, is to pray as much of the time as I can. I am sending Love and huge support for the Burmese people with so much courage to keep walking for peace and freedom. My deepest hope is that with the whole world watching, the junta will have to cease. WIthout this HOPE, there is defeat already. God bless.

Surely you don't expect any educated person to believe the tripe you layed out. Who cares if the CIA may or may not be responsible for the start of these protests?!? It's the Burmese dictatorship's murdering response to the peaceful protest that I care about! When I hear about blood running through monestaries I hold the Burmese Dictaorship responsible! When I hear that automatic weapons (hundreds of bullets per minute) are used on innocent peaceful protestors, I hold the Brutal Burmese gov't responsible! One can only imgine the horrific torture that those who have been arrested are facing as I write this! the Burmese government is responsible! the FACT remains that the current dictatorship in Burma is one of the most brutal regimes in the world. The videos now circulating the news and the internet are proof of this. @Charles,
