Put pressure on China - Burma's big brother and protector at the United Nations - by pulling out of the Beijing Olympics.

Ivor Davies, Subiaco W.A., Australia

The telecommunications giants need to have a conscience and make their satellite networks available to the people of Burma.

How about the EU tells China, stop supporting Burma dictators or we do a no show at the olympics?

Zen, London,

This is a clear statement of a dictatorship and oppression of people. Will the UN do anything here. Will the US (which always like to send in troops to defend freedom in the Middle East) do anything. This shows the Human Race at its worst.

John, London,

The protests will only suceed when there is a crack in the military. It is a sad thing to say, but a small minority with guns will always win, so long as they are willing to use weapons instead of ideas.

Dan Carroll, Frederick, USA, Maryland

Funny how the US hasn't done anything to stop this tyranny during the 50 years it has been going on.

In his second inaugural address, Bush said :
" So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.

This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary...

All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you."

Why isn't aren't we living up our promise?

Richie, Bangor, USA

What is the free world doing about this decades old dictataship ,sanctions only, why were not they in place anyway.
Were are the UN troops they went in to Yugoslavia with the americans included,do not remember much oil there.
How about putting more pressure on china,like olympics bouycot,after all I can see these good people being downtrodden for another 50 years,lets pry that they may soon be free and these despots brought to book.

It must be nice to live in a country where you have both and freedom and the luxury to become bored of things such as these.

I call on everyone to demand the telecom giants make their satellite networks available to the people of Burma.

Ryan Mercer, Spokane, WA

If you are bored with this please go way
People are dying as we speak and the burmese people had suffered on and on again for more than your age(47 years)
Are you related to the generals or china???

mza, London, UK

Bored with this? Then stop watching the tube and do something else. This peaceful movement has been building for 45 years and is long overdue. This dictatorship must go. China is only giving lip service to 'restraint.' They don't want to lose the Olympic Games, do they?

Keith, Los Angeles,

I am so bored with this! Can we move on now?

SwordofAlbion, london,

After the Burma military junta cut off the internet access,I afraid that more bloodshed will follow in the next few days.

China is still supporting Burma to protect its business interest.

Shame on you China!
