Since the dawn of human kind we have been engaged in a never ending struggle for freedom against freedom's oldest enemy: the passion of the few to rule the many.

Nowhere is this tyrannical urge more apparent than Burma, where a brutal military regime has denied the most basic freedom's to its citizens for decades. What kind of world do we live in when tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people are denied humanitarian aide for no reason whatsover?

Now there is word that the military regime there is impounding what little humanitarian aide that has been allowed in the country. No doubt this has been done so the Junta can later sell these items on the black market. What a disgrace.
