Military junta 2, Burmese people 0

It's a sickening feeling. First 1988, then 2007.
The BBC World Service was dissecting the failure of street protests in bringing about immediate political change.

It is a sickening feeling indeed. How many more peaceful Burmese need perish before a change happens.
And what next, if the military junta falls?
