Satellite Images Used to Monitor Burmese Junta

BurmesePython writes "Human rights groups are using high-resolution satellites images to reveal the activities of Burma's junta as it gets tough with pro-democracy protesters. Apparently 'it should be easy to spot groups of monks because of their distinctive maroon robes'. Like previous efforts to use satellites to monitor the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, the hope is it will prod the UN and other international actors into putting pressure on the Burmese rulers."

Re:Pressure the UN?

That's great but it was China and Russia that vetoed the decision to doing anything on the Burma issue. Why? Because they're all oppressors of people, oh and the whole trade issue blah blah blah, yeah right..

Only a few Countries vetoed the decision to do anything and right now good people are being killed because of it, but at least they talked about stopping them! Right?

I looked for an answer to my question. All I found was a pointless meandering apologetic.
