Why the cry of Burma has yet to be cared whereas cry of Iraq continues

I did not access into internet for two days when i was in Zurich. When i came back to Basel and read news online, Saddam Hussein whose death sentence had been on discussion "was executed".

I do not have any feeling towards Saddam Hussein's execution although he was said a tyrant and had killed many innocents during his ruling of Iraq. I believe my indifference was caused by the injustice invasion of US on Iraq.

If the US invaded Iraq for the building of Iraq's democracy, why the US does not take a similar action on Burma???

HI Mei:

Wishing YOU (Person of the Year voted by TIME!) a Peaceful & Progressive Nu'e Year!

As far as US is concerned, it has arrogated upon itself te role of international policeman, butt sometimes it has poor judgement like our ex-PM Dr Mahathir in picking his succesor.

In invading Iraq under the pretext of looking for WMD, the US has "resurrected" the spectre of Vietnam and more and more YOung soldiers would die abroad. As for Burma, it's a case of
"Don't Cry For Me, USA!"

Recalling te famous 60s anthem
of WHERE HAVE THE FLOWERS GONE:

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards everyone.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
