As many feared, the situation in Myanmar is getting even uglier. The top U.S. diplomat in the country is reporting that truckloads of people are being driven out of the cities. Apparently, soldiers are dragging people out of their homes at night, announcing in the streets that they have photographs and are arresting people who participated in the pro-democracy rallies.

    • "This is a hellhole beyond your wildest dreams," Stallone said. "All the trails are mined. The only way into Burma is up the river."

      Too bad we can't send Rambo in to stop the violence - we're going to have to rely on the wimpy UN.

    • Wow, just read this article.

      It looks like the Government took pictures of the protests and have their troops hunting down everyone one they can match up with a picture.

      Perhaps the Junta is using the internet and those vlogs and blogs where people were posting all of the citizen journalism and using it against them.

      This is a terrifying story and I can only hope that the UN steps in soon for real or else the slaughter will continue.
