May 18, 2008 - The military junta of Myanmar are not dog or pig, nor are they hound. They are SATAN. No one is his or her right mind would want to see people suffer while they themselves have it all, in this case way more than they really need. They might escape to another countries but just wait till the judgment day. They would be doomed in hell forever.

May 19, 2008 - Good on ya Jimmy, There is a big group of people here in Scarborough that say even in your youth you were a top class kind of guy. This video just goes to prove it! I have been to the aerea and the general population of the region are the kindest people I have ever seen. Like YOU Jim. Give to the cause everyone, it is well worthy and money better spent than many other causes. Here is to you Jim, and here is to your Canadian personality and Aung San Suu Kyi.

May 25, 2008 - after the cyclone of Burma, some orphans were caught and sold to thailand to be prostitute. hong kong bloggers start an action to send e-mail to the thai embrassy to urge the thai govt to save the helpless kids. THIS IS AN ACTION BEYOND BOUNDARY. the kids need your action!Pls send your concern of this crime to the Thai embassy in your country.

May 25, 2008 - Because I think its a similar reason why the UN is useless for stopping genocide...the problem of State Sovereignty and a stagnant & selfish Security Council that has no conscience other than what it's county's interest can gain...REFORM! REFORM! REFORM!

May 27, 2008 - You shouldn't forget that the Myanmese (Burmese) military regime is killing of all 'enemies' to themselves which also means that those who were in previous contact of U.S. citizens and military personnel are dead or being killed.Also some of my friends I made there. They should be stopped but we don't and that is our flaw

May 28, 2008 - Why can't the world, UN, NATO, ASEAN do something about Burma? Than Shwe is worst than Saddam. He's just like Hitler or Pol Pot. With ethnic cleansing of Karen tribe and mismanagement of their own people, it's time for international intervention. Just like what NATO did in Kosavo. Burma is also world biggest drugs exporter. They use drugs money to by weapons to kill their own people. Enough is enough it's time to remove the military junta from power.

May 30, 2008 - The UN have done nothing to help the people of Burma. We need to keep putting pressure on them to actually stand up for human rights for once, and not just try to appease an undemocratic, brutal regime.

May 31, 2008 - This is one of the many, many reasons this man has been my hero and idol for as long as I can remember. He's such a caring and kind person. He's just so..genuine. I want to be just like him someday.

jesb0787 Says:
Jun 4, 2008 - thats a great point, and unfortunately, there are a dozen more organizations that also should have stepped in by now, most prominently the UN. it's the same reason nobody did anything for Darfur...which is still happening fyi...and why nobody is doing anything for Kenya.

moloneycian32 Says:
Jun 6, 2008 - Because NATO is a figure head for the US military backed by its allies. NATO will never engage in a conflict unless there is somthing to gain from it(ie.oil). If it was the case that NATO did act in accordance to its mandate, it would be in places such as Darfur or Sri Lankia. crosboid got it spot on11

Jun 8, 2008 - Just like in Afghanistan after Rambo III, the character has become an underground symbol of defiance after the movie was released and immediately banned in Burma and anyone that was part of it would be arrested if they ever set foot in Burma. The movie is widely pirated in Burma, but owning a copy of the DVDcarries a 10 year jail term and selling the DVDs is Death. As silly as it might seem, Rambo is one of the few symbols of hope these people have as a way to defy their rulers.
