Anything to do with this country is always disappointing... it's like speaking to a blank wall...

I am so displeased the the UN allows countries like China to so thoroughly affect any decisions regarding any country's wrongdoing. what the junta in Burma is doing is absolutely wrong. The people of Burma voted Aung San Suu Kyi into power years ago. Due to China's unwarranted interference, the UN has done very little to stop this travesty. and continues to do very little.
I am so disappointed in the UN - under present conditions, what hope is there that the UN can fulfill its purpose?
and what about this person, unfairly penalized for another's actions?

How bloody kind of Grdon Brown to describe the imprisonment of Aung San Suu Kyi as " profoundly dissapointing" that surely has to be in the running for the understatement of the year award.The quicker Gordon does a quick stage left from international politics the better.He should gracefully retire and join that other band of political jokers.One final question though what on earth was that American reporter doing by visiting Suu Kyi was he not aware that she was under survailence 24/7 ? was he not also aware that he put this lady's liberty and life at further risk? this idiot should be condemned for his utter stupidity.
