God, it's worse now for them with the whole cyclone thing. What are the chances that this thing would be going on right in the middle of this campaign. This might be good. It may just overthrow the military due to the fact of the massive deaths, and with the deaths being so high, that might be the only good thing about the cyclone. If you can call it a good thing.
P.S. Isn't it called Myanmar now?
tvman-- you'll note that I do have "myanmar" as a keyword, however, "Burma" and "Myanmar" are just English interpretations of the Burmese names for their country.
From Wikipedia: "In the Burmese language, Burma is known as either Myanma or Bama. Myanma is the written, literary name of the country, while Bama is the oral, colloquial name of the country."
Most activists I know refer to it as "Burma" even though the name was "officially changed" in 1989. I think it is a symbol of protest.
