Myanmar, Continued

It would appear that the military dictatorship in Myanmar has started taking coercive actions against the protesters. Here are updates, from the Guardian and from the BBC. However, in rounding up Buddhist monks and nuns by the hundreds, the military might be picking one enemy too many, the entire Buddhist population of Myanmar, that is. With cutting off the internet, though, I fear that unless the rest of the world finds a way to productively intervene the key statistic of this affair may be bodies in mass graves. After all, the worst acts of violence are wrought in silence, ala Abu Ghraib.
