The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants

Thomas Jefferson once said "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Well 78,000 dead and another 56,000 missing due to Cyclone Nargis alone; and many more unaccounted for over the years under the rule of this harsh junta. The tree of liberty has more than enough blood of patriots and not enough blood of tyrants.

In light of the upcoming Olympics in Beijing, China doesn't want to get involved with the junta and its affairs. ASEAN seems to have washed its hands off the junta by declaring sometime ago that in any International Forum, the junta must defend itself, it wont defend the junta. The EU and US with the recent setbacks in the middle east they don't want to initiate something new. And the UN under this new SG called Ban Ki-moon is weak, no surprise here.

All these parties want the situation in Burma to go away, they don't want to deal with it, but no amount of wishing or pretending it isn't happening will ever hide the fact that thousands are dying and suffering in Burma for various reasons (recently due to Nargis) and all due to the callous attitude, ignorance and selfishness of the junta under a man (though he doesn't even rate the level of a dog or amoeba) who fancies himself all powerful god (more like god of dung though). The international community is being fooled and led around by it's nose by this barbarian, no pride or respect at all.

Well as stated earlier, the tree of liberty has more than enough blood of patriots, its time to feed it the blood of tyrants.
