 Hillary Clinton's silence of Burma is deafening
A repressive military dictatorship in Burma, one of the most odious on the planet, has been oppressing that subjugated nation for decades. Incredibly, the people of Burma are rising up against the junta, peacefully, through mass demonstrations led by Buddhist monks.

Incredibly, the people of Burma are rising up against the junta, peacefully, through mass demonstrations led by Buddhist monks.This example of popular courage has won the admiration of much of the world. Many statesmen and advocates on human rights have been speaking publicly about the history that is unfolding in Burma.
