"Anyone with a conscience in their position would have done the same."

It's been nearly 20 years since the last uprising in Burma. The Buddhist monks initiated this latest uprising with their peaceful protest. Why hasn't any other group in Burma been willing to stand up and speak out during that time? We see a similar situation in China: the only group that is unafraid to speak out and openly defy the government are the followers of the Falun Gong movement. And what of Rev. Martin Luther King? Or Gandhi? This isn't to say that only religious people have convictions or a conscience, but it does seem that, in totalitarian countries particularly, these types of things often begin with a religious movement.
