...question is whether these scattered demonstrations will lead to a replay of Burma's version of Tiananmen, when a nation confronted its brutal military rulers only to be crushed by an iron fist. Certainly, there are similarities between today's protest movement and that of 1988. Although the previous strikes are now glossed with a patina of democratic yearning, their initial motivation was also economic. Back then, the military regime demonetized the local currency, rendering millions of people's savings worthless. Small groups began marching over a six-month period, a stop-start effort that culminated in August 1988 with...

She and her girlfriends visit the peckerwood who has the car, and three of them take...
...position we are in today. Tens of thousands of people have been killed in a raging civil war, the international goodwill following 9/11 has been wasted, and we have a huge deficit and a military that is being ground down. Even if this Administration could push a replay button, the result would be like the movie Groundhog Day, an endless repeat of the same mistakes. Jack Plummer Franktown, Colorado...
