monks murdered and imprisoned

Burmese authorities are to send thousands of monks to prisons in the north of the country. Other reports suggest that ‘thousands’ of protesters and hundreds of monks have been executed in a jungle massacre.

Maybe if the place had a little oil, we’d get involved…

    Bruma does have a little oil. Sadly it is only a little oil. Who gets out of bed for less than half a million barrels a day?

    I suppose we should consider that we ruled the place and screwed it up for long enough.
