A special thanks for the Burmese monks that are guiding a non-violent revolution in their country along with their fellow citizens against the military dictatorship.

The weight of the public opinion is much bigger that in 1988. But with this class of governments one never knows how it can end up. If somebody knows how to help them, say it.
Thanks devish for this pics & topic

This is a song from one of my favourite Australian rockbands : Midnight Oil
The song is recorded in 1990
Mountains of Burma
The tucker box is empty now
The heart of Kelly's country cleared
The gangers on the southern line
Like the steam trains have disappeared
Pelicans glide
Miracles up in the skies
We vote for a government
With axes in its eyes
Mountains of Burma
The road to Mandalay
In the mountains of Burma
Light years away
Mountains of Burma
Will the sons of Solidarity
Still march on May Day
Will the sisters of the seventies
Still fight for equal pay
There's no-one on the Reeperbahn
No more blankets handed out for land
We feed an economy
It's got blood on its hands
Mountains of Burma
The road to Mandalay
Mountains of Burma
Light years away
In the mountains of Burma
The road to Mandalay
In the mountains of Burma
Hope you're light years away
Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition
Bills fall due for the industrial revolution
Scorch the earth till the earth surrenders
Soldiers of armies
Storm empty fields
In a traveller's trance
On the way to the high frontier
Sleepwalkers stumble
Cable cars run aground
Imaginary enemies
Form high above the clouds
In the Mountains of Burma...
