For the record: Americans are outraged at Burma

[dubyaD40web]

We Americans are not outraged at....

<deep breath>

The Iraq war, Al-Qaeda, Hurricane Katrina, high gas prices, the housing industry, CIA spy leaks, September the 11th, voter caging, attorney firings, Cheney's energy deal, wiretaps, Halliburton, Terry Schiavo, North Korea, global warming, Karl Rove, Minnesota bridges, K-street, Osama, Enron, Rummy, Mark Foley, airport bathrooms, hot tub Tom, Dubai port security, health care, Made in China, tax cuts for corporations, hot missing white chicks, Habeas Corpus, torture, Iran, Fred Phelps, stem cell research, Fox News, a MoveOn ad, foreign policy, WMD's, Lieberman, NSAT&T, Alberto Gonzales, bridges to nowhere, pollution, diaper sex, free speech zones, massive deficits, illegal immigration, Don Imus, the dollar's value, the Patriot Act, Blackwater, Ralph Nadar, the Coalition of the Willing, Macaca, rubber stamping, No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D, and the last episode of the Sopranos.

No folks, the President had this to say yesterday:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/09/20070925-4.html">"Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma,"

So you see, the President wants us to be outraged at Burma instead. Makes sense. The top paragraph, for all we know, is Clinton's fault anyway.

4. You sure?

Who determines what's official? I thought they changed the name to Myanmar a while back...

6. The Junta changed it to Myanmar

It's not officially recognized as their regime is not officially recognized.

7. Ah, thank you.
