Once the Olympic spotlight is turned off in China, there is every indication that China’s self imposed temporary restraint will end. China did what can only be described as ingesting poison during the Olympic games. In the eyes of China freedom of speech is seen as poison, and there were more than subtle hints in the media China was very uncomfortable swinging to be as open as it was during the last 3 or 4 weeks.

Burma’s junta has once again polarized itself from what is right and wrong even on a humanitarian level by delaying visas of the people that want to help. With each minute that help is being deliberately delayed by the junta, more people suffer needlessly. The delay has nothing to do with politics but everything to do with some fear the junta has.
