1988 all over again?

Maybe the military of Burma learned something in 1988. This time they waited perhaps until they could identify the ringleaders of the protest against the government. They entered the monasteries at night and who knows what they did to the monks besides arresting a number of them. Reporting is very difficult. The media is controlled by the government, which seems to be unconcerned about any sanctions that might be imposed.

They are having an effect, as a lot fewer monks marched today.
