5. Rips your heart out
I was just posting on this topic on another thread. "Sent Away" is most surely a euphemism for sent onto their next lives, which they most likely believe in as Buddhists. What a shocking crime, what a humanitarian disaster. As I wrote a few nights ago, Buddhists cannot even kill the lice that may grow in their own hair (if they have hair). To slaughter them in this way, I think, is beyond an outrage and will not go over well with the citizens of Burma or the international community.
