"Burmese security forces continued to round up dissident monks even as UN Special Envoy Ibraham Gambari was pleading with the regime to exercise restraint, UN officials reported today."

while the world may hate the US for our stong handed ideals, when even lowly Burma thumbs their nose at the UN, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about what the world thinks about that irrelevant outfit. Hey maybe we could all get together and write a strongly worded letter. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I think a little show of force might work a little better to stop this insanity.
