Red monks as a force for democracy, from the grassroots up. I pray that things work out without violence – and I am not much of a praying man. Not sure how to help, but I am touched by these demonstrations. Amnesty describes torture in Burma as “an institution”. These guys are showing real courage in the face of a a hardcore regime and deserve our support. Here are some online petitions that might help raise awareness, but I really need to educate myself more on the situation.

I’m just as bored by what’s happening there as most liberal bloggers seem to be….
