C'mon, Ustwo... I know you have your opinions, but don't tell me you've adopted the attitude of, "oh yay, more brown people getting themselves killed in a fucked-up third-world country, change the channel please..."

Sigh, why do people see only what they believe they should see.
My example was not of the Burmese people, but of the people in other Western nations who now want us to come help the Burmese (while doing almost nothing to help themselves) and bitch if we don't, or call us hypocrites for not freeing everyone.
If this is big news in Norway like you say, shouldn't the EU be sending troops? Why turn to the US for leadership when all the rest of the free world does is bitch about US leadership?
