There is a hidden war in Burma, a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Karen people which live in the north.
In the last 10 years 3000 villages were destroyed, people were killed or forced to flee into the jungle.
Burma is a military dictatorship, the opponents of the regime are not allowed.
Here is a video, you can see the government army burning villages and killing all the people they find, women and children included. Also they place land mines everywhere, one was placed in front of someone's house.
There are lots of refugees who live in the jungle and they cannot return to their villages because the army could come back anytime. They formed an army against the government, and also the video shows medics the "Free Burma Rangers" who travel and take care of the refugees

Here is a video about the "army of the child god", also in Burma

This is proof that the war in Iraq or "the war on terror" which does nothing but produces more terrorists is fake, and it is a war for economic reasons - it's very normal : for every Iraqi killed his friends and family may become terrorists
Why doesn't US go into Burma and end that regime ? Maybe because there is nothing there, and for sure there is no oil

Most who follow geopolitical issues know that US did not go into Iraq to create Democracy and remove Saddam for the people of Iraq. The reasons are $$$. No chance to make $$ and they will not go in.

The latest explanation for perhaps going into Iran is that Cheney is convinced that Iran will build a bomb and give it to Hezbolla. In turn Hezbolla will deliver it to the US.

This one was floated by Seymour Hirsch. I for one am not ready to swallow the fact that Iran would do something so stupid, unless that is US attacked them and pushed them to the wall. Unilaterally I do not see them doing something like this. But I am not an expert like they are

However it is such "stories" that are told to the crowd to justify illegal action. Recall why Hitler started WWII or why Eastern Europe was put into the hands of the Soviets.

People that say foolish things like-"NOBODY WILL EVER NEED AN "ASSAULT" RIFLE"" conveniently always forget about places like Burma, Darfur, Rwanda.

What if all of these villagers had reliable weapons and knew how to use them?

Trust me, even in this state Burma is better off not being "liberated" by the United States.

I watched a documentary on this a while back. It's tragic. But then again this kind of stuff has been happening for the past 10,000 years and more and will continue long into the future mostly until our species dies out.
