I agree with you, but then where do you stop? There are so many hundreds of vile, repressive regimes (military and otherwise) across the world ... are the "world policemen" (US/UK) going to take it on themselves to get rid of all of them? Actually, never mind where would you stop, where would you even start? Even Robert Mugabe is the thin end of the wedge when it comes to dictators in Africa alone. Where are all the troops, etc coming from?
While we're on the subject, let's not forget that probably the world's biggest and most powerful developing nation - China - boasts a ruling regime that is among the world's most evil and oppressive, but all our governments let the Chinese get away with murder (literally) because we can't afford not to do business with them. And by the way, China is also the Burmese generals' best friend.
If any "policemen" get involved it should be through the United Nations, but what good are they? B&*%$r all, quite frankly. They call on Burma to "show restraint". What's Burmese for "p*^s off"?

It's post like yours that tell me why we shouldn't get involved. For one after looking at the world map I see that there are many other countries besides the UK and US that could get involved and don't. Is it for the same reasons you accuse us of. Why should it always be the US or UK every time we try and help someone all we get is stabbed in the back and your post is good evidence of this.

I agree that because Burma is considered China's problem, the British and US are reluctant to act. The story would have been very different if Burma had oil resources.
