Hillary in Burma
Hillary speaks out on elections in My Ann Mar The Country Formerly Known As Burma:
In Australia for ministerial talks, US secretary of state Hillary Clinton says the elections again expose the abuses of the country's military rulers.
Ms Clinton says the people of Burma deserve better.
"We hope that perhaps out of these elections some leaders will emerge who know that Burma has to take a different track, that they cannot continue to do the same thing, and realise the potential of their people," she said.
It's genuinely nice that she calls it plain old Burma. Burmese people, when speaking English, call their country Burma. Only the Burmese regime and American media call it My Ann Mar The Country Formerly Known As Burma.
More seriously, why do America's elite rulers insist on forcing other countries to have elections? None of the things our elites love, none of the "human rights" that they claim to seek, were created by voting here. Not even indirectly by elected legislators. All of the "human rights" our elites love most were
ordered by tyrannical black-robed saboteurs appointed for life.
To be consistent, they should be shipping our black-robed Soviet saboteurs to countries like My Ann Mar The Country Formerly Known As Burma. They won't do that, of course, because it would mean more freedom for Americans.
