Free Burma

I missed the International Bloggers Day action in support of a peaceful revolution in Burma, which occurred two days ago. But the sentiment is with me all the same.

From what I have seen through various brief visits and read about Burma I know it is a country rich in beauty and wonder, it is a place I would love to travel one day. Living in this part of the world I have some idea of the threat perilous tenuous political activity plays in the assumed security of our everyday lives.

Thai politics is so difficult to comprehend, imagine what life must be like for the Burmese who have been living under decades of repression.

In South East Asia Buddhist Monks are revered they teach about peace, peace in the self, peace in the soul. For this atrocity to happen is more than saddening it is a humanitarian disaster that could have been avoided, it shouldn't happen.
