Monks Under Attack In Myanmar (Burma)

Possible genocide underway in Burma... the latest reports say that about 4000 Monks have been rounded up and that they are "to be sent away".

Meanwhile, the U.S. is putting empty sanctions in place....such as additional travel restrictions on Burmese Junta officials who don't travel to this country anyway. That means very little in terms of creating a deterrent or trying to influence the situation in Myanmar.
