JJ, Bangkok is in Thailand...


The west isn't going to be able to do much there. The real work needs to be done by the ASEAN nations. Interestingly they managed to get the Myanmar government to sign onto an agreement to human rights clause in the last ASEAN summit.

It was a move in the right direction but it wasn't enough.

Now that the military has killed a German and a Japanese journalist, perhaps Japan (at least) might make some stronger rumblings.

In the end, I am afraid that no one will do anything, just like they did nothing when 3000 were killed for protesting in the late 90s.
