Meanwhile these people are suffering while their tryannical leaders claim glory for what little aid they allow in. China is Burma's only real ally now after the remainder of the world distanced themselves from the slaughter of Burmese people. This is the Olympic host's way of repression.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/180376069087525-934573741895591374?l=ydbblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ydb1http://www.blogger.com/profile/14726855705260080021noreply@blogger.com0
