Big doings in Burma
I'm really intrigued by all of this news out of Rangoon about the big protests that are happening. As an Asian specialist, it's important for me to keep up on news in the region, but this pro-democracy news out of Burma really makes me hopeful. I was watching CNN's Your World Today (also perhaps the best international broadcast on television) this morning and they were talking about the SLORC junta having been in charge of Burma for over 45 years. It's amazing. See: BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Burma troops surround monasteries
