  • DudeInAustin, on 11/11/2008, -1/+3So, what will President Obama do about this? How does he plan to deal with regimes like Burma that are willing to machine gun monks and put a blogger in jail for 20 years for a poem?

    I am assuming the United Nations also has a plan to deal with this outrage!

    Is that a cricket I hear?
