Burma's Constitution

My neighbor is from Myanmar (Burma). I heard there was a new Constitution being voted on and asked him what it was all about (he has contacts). In short, it gives the Military complete control of the Country and the "government". I told him I was glad he was in America now. I know he would rather be home fighting the oppression though. Or at least getting the news out, like he risked his life doing when he was younger.

So much outside interest, so much strife. It's a condition that saddens me every time I think about it. It is more sad to me that most Americans DON'T think, or even know about it.
