Thousands are dead in Myanmar. From the Daily Mail:
Thousands of protesters are dead and the bodies of hundreds of executed monks have been dumped in the jungle, a former intelligence officer for Burma’s ruling junta has revealed.
The most senior official to defect so far, Hla Win, said: “Many more people have been killed in recent days than you’ve heard about. The bodies can be counted in several thousand.”
Mr Win, who spoke out as a Swedish diplomat predicted that the revolt has failed, said he fled when he was ordered to take part in a massacre of holy men. He has now reached the border with Thailand.
The exact death toll will never be known. It's a travesty just the same.
DON'T FORGET THAT THIS STARTED IN VIETNAM -- Where the cowardly allied democracies let IndoChina, Burma included, sink into a sea of bestial communism, grinding poverty, and unspeakable suffering from which it has yet to emerge.
