More house arrest for Aung San Suu Kyi and hard labor for an American fundy who visited her to talk about his dreams.
Oh, he was a fundy?
Damn, and I felt sorry for him. Good riddance.

Huh. Heard about that on BBC last week or the week before- it's a shame, they were really hoping that the government would show some leniency and leave the American out of it.
Burma must sure be happy they have North Korea around so they can comfortably remain the second shittiest country.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure Bhutan is worse.

How can you go wrong with "Gross National Happiness". Bhutan is a bit strange, recently the government did force everybody over the age of 18 to vote. All the parties were royalist who were being parties only because the king wanted them too and they loved his majesty more than any of the other parties.
Strange. They only recently allowed TV, but that was because the people were going for satellite anyway.
Bhutan doesn't seem so bad. Just crazy and backward, not evil.
Traditional monarchy > brutal military dictatorship.
There do exist other candidates for (2nd) shittiest country around though- just look Africawards....

Yes. That's Chris Berman, not Chris Burman.
I'd go with Burma over Bhutan. Those dresses they make you wear are just too wacky.

Is it supposed to be Burmese? Though nobody ever says that either. Mainly because nobody talks about Burma. :contract:
