Anyway I’m not an expert on Burma at all and have only been following what’s going on through the news and whatnot, but I don’t know if anything’s really going to change yet in Burma. I mean, in 1988 3,000 people were killed after huge protests for democracy, and that didn’t cause the junta breaking down but rather reinfornced their authority. I remember the BBC saying something to the effect of: for a moment there it looked like Burma’s Berlin-wall-collapse moment had arrived, but with this crackdown the junta will probably still be in power for a while. I guess I’m just less optimistic The pictures of those protests were absolutely inspiring though, weren’t they?
