Their courage is awe inspiring. Their cause is just. My guess is that like Dafur, the world body will just stare and shrug their shoulders like it''s nothing new and nothing to get all too troubled about. You know, the "we have our own troubles" crowd.

[coffee_guy1]

The only centralizing of power that I see is the Congress trying to overpower the Executive. The fact that they want to centralize health care starting with Schip where in the State of New Jersey their Governor is attempting to put people into this program with an annual income of $72,225 per year and taking them off private insurance is what I call centralizing government. Please don''t accuse the Executive of stomping on the Constitution. The Dimnowits have continually done this and will continue to do so unless we stop them. There are three co-equal banches of government. Each has a responsibility. The Executive to defend the Constitution and this Country which Bush has done. The Congress to legislate and the Bench to ensure that these laws are interpreted not legislated. The fact that the people of Burma elected a Democratic run government that has been under house arrest for 19 years is a poor analogy to make. Bush stands before the U.N. and tells them to help the people of Burma and this body of wonks stares into space. I don''t understand this propensity to compare our country to the worst dictatorships in existence. What is wrong with the whole lot of you?

A regime that wants to retain power for itself.
A military that is willing to shoot its own citizens. Weapons used on people carrying no weapons.
A small group of people holding the masses by fear.
Guns. Fear. Power.

And conservatives demonize liberals in this country for questioning the ethics and morals of its governing body?

The conservative element of our own citizenry want centralization of power within their own political party just like this. And does anyone believe that the GOP is so altruistic and humanitarian that gaining and keeping power for themselves will not result in similar circumstances as what is happening in Yangon today?

Bush and Co, themselves US citizens, have showed us their intent to tread on our Constitution and their desire to centralize power within the Republican party for their own benefit. This country is not immune to what is happening in Yangon, and if We, the People allow our constitution to be stomped on long enough, our situation as citizens will mirror Yangon very quickly.

Then, please make sure you and the rest of the numbnuts stop b/itching about Dafur, too.

I''''m more outraged by the continued rapes and abuse in Dafur, but I don''''t see Bush and Co. doing anything about that.

If he did, you''d be screaming Imperalism. There have been countless speaches and long invocations for the U.N. to do something about the injustice in Dafur and now Burma. This body of worthless wonks do nothing. When it comes to genocide they just sit there and stare.

After all, Bush is the individual who, in November, 2005, facing an assembly of party members critical of his NSA spying program, bristled like a teenager caught drinking after curfew-- "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face!", he said. "It''''s just a GD)((#@*! piece of paper!"

"Democracy is how you got the dictatorship in the first place..."
---
Democracy makes many things possible-- including misjudgments. But a conveniently post-facto, armchair dismissal of democracy as the path to ruin, or an ill-advised sop to the rabble is the line taken by Louis XIV, and in latter days, certain GOPs who oppose making the vote widely available.

Bush, for example, is on record having charged voter registration groups in the Southwest with vote fraud. The charge was baseless and nothing came of it, but was a reminder sharing power with voters is the last thing a wannabe dictator wishes.

"The protest is not merely for the well-being of people but also for monks struggling for democracy..."

Democracy is how you got the dictatorship in the first place. Perhaps you ment a Representative Republic or a Republic with citizen voting rights? Where people vote on whats best for everyone with in the bounds of their Constitution. Not on selfish political and personal views.
