The Tiresome Burma vs M word "debate"

Just left this on SEA-Globe site, where it is awaiting moderation: The name change was to hoodwink the world into thinking it's not the junta which committed all these human rights abuses. It's the new disciplined democracy. I personally can't stand Myanmaring and Yangoning people. They are so often business people going there for profit. As for the "Myanmar/Burma" people, sitting on the fence you are likely to slash yourself where it counts most. Enough said. Kyi May Kaung Re-enactment of Burmese monarchy in Mandalay - from photographer's site. When a poet friend saw this, he laughed, "ha ha ha."
