Burma: the dignity and bravery of normal people
Like many I can only look on the people of Burma with a mixture of awe and feelings of inadequacy. It ain't much, but we can offer them our solidarity if nothing else.
And I woke up to hear that the military have started trying to stop the protests. Hopefully this won't end in a blood bath, and the military dictatorship will end. Though I think this is my blind optimism.
