Ah, I've been hearing about this for a while, now. Myanmar's a hot topic around my area. Horrible stuff going on down there from what I've seen. People there have been really crapped over for a long time. And they're killing monks. 'Buddhists' killing Buddhist monks.

Death toll's officially at 13.

I'm not positive, but I think the new government took over with a junta, and the US doesn't recognize a junta as a proper government. Still, I respect the monks there for the protesting.
