    Burma Action Ireland. Is that just a new group set up in the last few days/weeks or is it a group that have been fighting for their cause for a long time? I'm not being smart, just interested to know.
    Fight terror, support Israel!

    I was sent the following text twice this evening, from two different numbers which I dont recognise.

    In support of our incredibly brave friends in Burma: May all people around the world the world wear a red shirt on Friday September 28. Please forward
    Just wondering if anyone else got this text?

    haven't received anything by text message - but it's a worldwide campaign - (the red shirts in solidarity with the monks today)

    What do posters think is happening for those several hundred monks and nuns being detained at the Burmese military's pleasure today?

    Was it that infernal choice between cappuchino and latte this morning. Or might it have been somewhat more difficult.
    The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

    I don't really think wearing red shirts in Ireland would do much for the demonstrators...
