Unacceptable

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/21/world/asia/21myanmar.htmlI don’t know if you guys follow the news on Burma…but the military junta that rules the nation has reached a new all time low by fabricating another reason to extend the incredibley brave democratic leader Aung San’s house arrest for another term.  She has been imprisoned for 13 of the past 19 years….because that is the only way the government can keep the whole country from uniting behind her in a democratic movement.  Can you believe that today….in our modern era….there are still small groups of people that rule over huge countries against their wishes?  By force?  And we still trade with them, allow them into our Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and do business as usual.  It is completely unacceptable.
