Too bad the UN may be handling this.

“ANGON, Myanmar ‚Äî Security forces fired automatic weapons into thousands of pro-democracy protesters for a second day Thursday, and the military government said nine people were killed and 11 wounded.

Tens of thousands defied the ruling military junta’s crackdown with a 10th straight day of demonstrations. Security forces also raided several monasteries overnight, beating monks and arresting more than 100, according to a monk at one monastery.

The protests were the stiffest challenge to the generals in two decades, a crisis that began Aug. 19 with protests over a fuel price hike and has drawn increasing international pressure on the isolated regime.”

Just yesterday the thugs fired on unarmed and defenseless monks. The UN is sending an “envoy”. What might work is financial pressure on the despots from companies such as France who operates their oil company Total may quell a bit. In any case with upwards of 70,000 in protest and growing this could get very bad very quick.
