→Sept 2007 uprising
:Who started what, and was the force justified? We are talking about a largely-peaceful protest against an oppressive military dictatorship. A dictatorship that reportedly did shoot into a crowd of peaceful protesters in 1988, killing ''thousands''. You are correct. Perhaps in specific incidents the police were justified. Overall, justice seems to be on the side of the protesters.

::We have to take into consideration that Burma/Myanmar went communist after World War II, then a military takeover sometime in the 1970s. It's an Asian contry with ties to China, so what I'm seeing in the news is something similar to the student revolt in Beijing back in 1989. The Burmese want freedom, and those in charge are not going to let it happen. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 09:04, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
