Related termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Burma, officially the Union of Myanmar, is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia or Indochina. The country is bordered by China on the northeast, Laos on the east, Thailand on the southeast, Bangladesh on the west, India on the northwest and the Bay of Bengal to the southwest with the Andaman Sea defining its southern periphery. One-third of Burma's total perimeter, 1,930 kilometres (1,199 mi), forms an uninterrupted coastline. The country's culture, heavily influenced by neighbours, is based on Theravada Buddhism intertwined with local elements. Burma's diverse population has played a major role in defining its politics, history and demographics in modern times, and the country continues to struggle to mend its ethnic tensions. The military has dominated government since General Ne Win led a coup in 1962 that toppled the civilian government of U Nu. Burma remains under the tight control of the military-led State Peace and Development Council. From Wikipedia under the

Does the UN Security council played blind and deaf on the sufferings of the people there? Q. The United Nations have done nothing but to send envoys in the past which resulted to nothing but sanctions. A massacre of 3000 peaceful demonstrators in 1990's, both from the religious and social classes is a clear violation of human rights and abuse of power, just recently another demonstration was quelled by force by the military junta where more than 300 were believed killed. I believe UN needs to act on these abuses and massacres by the Junta. Those happenings were clear genocides and no action but sending an envoy was done by the UN which is supposed to be the protector of the world.

See my post There are several constructive things people can do. * Watch our leaders on C-Span talk about the situation, such as what has changed since past events, that give more hope for resolution this time * Boycott CHEVRON which is supporting the Junta to the tune of $ 2 billion a year ... send a clear message that money interests understand ... then when Chevron shuts down and some other Oil company moves in, boycott them also * Urge Congress to take certain actions (see my post) Thailand is blocking refugees from escaping ... the UN is real good at getting refugees resettled elsewhere ... urge it to do what it is good at.

Q. Now that they're in the US says they want more or they'll leave. Do you see now why you were not allowed in the first place? Should Burma say fine then leave? Who exactly is playing politics with this natural disaster? What do you think the state department really wants? Is this the quickest treaty they've ever broken? the "treaty" is the new agreement to be allowed in as negotiated by Ban Ki Moon. Immediately after being allowed in the US wants "unfettered access" or threatens to leave. Asked by The Golden Buffalo - Sun May 25 08:42:59 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I wish the USA would decline to help the rest of the worthless world for a few years. Stop funding all the UN programs, cut off all food and medical aid to the entire world. Let people like you handle it, or let the needy people die. Then you would be whining about that.
