It's morning in Myanmar.

Thousands of monks defied the ban on assembly, marching with protesters; riot police fired warning shots, beat monks, and dragged some away into waiting vehicles.

Ah if only the monks in Sri Lana would follow their example, instead of advocating expulsion of all Tamils as revenge on LTTE.

Yeah.

It's gotten worse now. The government soldiers slipped into the monasteries and grabbed monks out of their beds, destroyed statues, looted the place.

The horrid thing is that it will get a lot worse before , and if it gets better...

It is true, that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Things like this make me want to go off to the mountain of Kandy and never come down.
