The title of this rant says everything. What the hell were Myanmar's military rulers thinking when they announced that pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi house arrest will be extended.
I mean here you are asking foreign donors for aid and then you turn around and just slap the world in the face. People are already pissed at them for holding a useless rigged vote and now they are extending Aung San Suu Kyi's arrest to a sixth year. If only they concentrate so much on saving the cyclone victims.
Of course, the world can do nothing. All we have is U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressing regret, while praising "a new spirit of cooperation" between the junta and the UN. Ha!
