Free Burma!
International Bloggers' Day for Burma on the 4th of October
International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the words „Free Burma!“.

Free Burma from the British colonists! The British colonists aren't dead yet, their evil spirits are still tormenting the Burmese people!
Even today, they still use "divide and conquer" tactics to rule the other half of Burmese from abroad and from UK. So the British colonists' evil design is still alive and well today!
