Myanmar's military rulers stormed Buddhist monasteries, kicked everyone off the streets--those they didn't kill, prevented groups of more than five people from meeting, and shut down access to the internet. It seems to have worked.
Though reports suggest that the military rulers are being criticized across the globe, the criticism from the country's key trading partners--India, China and Russia--are not backing words with action. The country is rich in natural resources and none want to lose access to them.
