seriously, folks, this state is so much more fucked up than you think from a few shocking images...

here's a link to the group's main page for reports on conditions in burma:

on the burmese clothing industry (uk specific--when i have more time, i'll search up something on us-based firms doing business with this state)
http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/repo...mingclean.html

a good summary page on unocal's activities in burma, the lawsuit etc.
