One of my favorite restaurants here in NYC is Burmese, they love this country, they serve amazing food, and they're devistated at the state of their home land. What can we do to help the good people there being attacked by a ruthless regime? Oh by the way- The Restaurant is The Village Mingala on 7th St. betw 2nd and 3rd. stop by if you're in town. Great folks, great food (if you can handle some spice). CORPORAL PUNISHMENT- don't know what that's supposed to mean. Myanmar is not polynesian nor french. It is Southern Asian and at one point was English (aka Burma)

I wish I lived on a French Polynesian Island away from here

We seem to only be interested in 'nation building' for the Middle East (for whatever reason) and not in other parts of the world. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm always looking for new good restaurants.

I don't care one ioata about Myanmar or Burma. The only thing I know about Burma is "Burma Shave" an old brand of shaving cream that was resurrected for a few years in the 1990's. It had a good fragrance and nice lather. There's suffering and injustice everywhere in the world, and right now the US is so messed up, that we have to get our own house in order before we embark on new crusades. Edit: One more thing. Burma has had these problems for at least 10 years. Ever wonder why Bush is suddenly talking about it, wag, wag.

Well I doubt the US does anything militarily. We can hope to rally the UN to do something other than meaningless sanctions, but we all know the UN is worthless. Basically, they're f'd. Buddhist monks are leading the opposition, and Buddhist monks would get their butts kicked by a small army of teletubbies.

I pray that the Burmese protesters find the strength and bravery to continue their fight for democracy. I discovered a Burmese restaurant in Philly. Sort of like Thai and Indian combined. It was awesome, albeit spicy.
