No, they are NOT forgotten. They are VERY much in the forefront of a number of people's priorities for actions. The Myanmar government WILL be destroyed, and it's beloved rightful 'ruler' [Aung San Suu Kyi] shall....well, RULE, with wisdom and kindness.

[okok--maybe I AM delusional--lol]
Namaste!

Thank's Janet,
Aung San Suu Kyi was elected President 20 years ago by more than 80% of the Burmese people!

The world is failing Burma and so many countries when silently turn away and pretend the pain and cruel injustice does not exist. Keep it going Ben, force it to be on our minds and in our hearts.

Burma 18 months ago: What happened after that? A lot has happened, unfortunately none of it has been any good for the Myanmar/Burmese people. It looks like the only way they will ever know peace and justice is to eliminate the Bulldog and his henchmen from the equation........

They are not forgotten - I hope they get their freedom soon. I think the international communities are not doing enough to exert pressure on this dictatorship. How can we claim to be an evolved humanity when one half of the world is suffering from the denial of basic human rights.
I cannot imagine how suffocating life must be in Burma. We take our freedom for granted - I think we must be thankful everyday for our freedom.

Thank's Cherida,
we should not take our freedom for granted, and I quote Aung Suu Kyi:
"Please use Your liberty to promote ours"
