Don't think I heard much voices against China, while what Dalai Lama is doing & where he's travelling still makes major news on every media shop!!

What other word do you use to describe the brutal oppression of a peaceful buddhist monk community.

However, the recent developments in Burma are shocking. What other word do you use to describe the brutal oppression of a peaceful buddhist monk community. Well, if no one else raises a voice, be the first to do so. And if such a voice is heard then add yours to it to make it louder. Its really that simple :) amit: well, there may be a lot of such dictatorships in the world, and burma has been this way since 1992. However, the recent developments in Burma are shocking.

There are lots of dictatorships & military tyrannies around the world, a number of them in Africa, lots of places in a civil war like situation, conflict zones, where more people are dying in a month than the number of people who died in the recent coup in Burma!! But no one, except people from those zones, raise a voice for them, why? When the indian Parliament was attacked by suicide bombers a couple of years back, I didn't see any international MSM make a hue & cry on that, they acted as if its a cup of tea!!
