Burma/Myanmar

It appears that the protestors who are railing against the lack of democracy and respect for human rights in the country that calls itself Myanmar, are in fact referring to the nation by its old name of Burma. An interesting observation, to be sure, and I should learn more about the underlying nuances involved.

But, before I expand my knowledge on the subject, I have some thoughts for the protestors. The signs and placards that I have seen have been too commonplace. How about something like:

Tie the tyrants

By their feet

Drag the tyrants

Through the street.

Burma. Save.
