Chaos in Myanmar

Chaos erupted in Myanmar, commonly known as Burma after months of protest of their militaristic government. The military started using deadly force to disperse crowds and reports that as many as 35 bodies were already lined up in the streets with people praying over them. The anti-government protests were relatively peaceful with thousands monks dressed in red ropes leading a march a few days ago. The military insists it is using rubber bullets but with 35 people already dead I find that hard to believe. Also restrictions have been place that put in effect a curfew for all and making it illegal for more than five people to gather in one place at a time. Hearing this I am even more grateful for living in this great country and its' freedoms. The government of Myanmar also cut Internet connections to the whole country because video of the violence were surfacing and they don't want that. Officials for Myanmar said they were provoked into fighting but its doubtful when their opposition is a bunch of monks. Myanmar held elections in 1990 but the militaristic regime refuses to acknowledge the leaders chosen and arrested him. I am so glad I live in a country with freedom to do what I please. I believe everyone in the world should enjoy this freedom. Totalitarian governments can only last so long before the voice of the people finally say they have had enough of their rules and terror and overthrow the government. I think the U.S. should lend the protesters a hand and make it public, showing the world we support democracy everywhere and we don't always have to use our military to support it but that we have other means also.
