For me, personally, the plight of Burma was bought to me by a U2 song "Walk On" (it's both sad and a good thing that popular culture is the messenger in this instance) - which was written expressly about Aung San Suu Kyi the human rights activist (and elected President). That was in 2000. What's happened since then? Not much. You'd think the world community would be right on top of this - maybe that time is now! You might wonder Des, why I'm into this: I have a small hand in an online doco I'm working on about this very issue. We've been working on it for a few years and sadly this current siutation is just another chapter. It’s sad, but we’ve become immune to such issues.
