Mr. Curran,

You didn't do your homework. Did you read the text of the resolution? Contained within its sympathy framework, was a series of specific condemnations of the Burmese/Myanma military junta's domestic policies. The resolution was, therefore, neither symbolic, nor benign, but a latent foreign policy stance that could lead to later substantive--probably very expensive--actions by our government. The sports resolutions contained no latent possibilities of later action by the Congress. Ron Paul knows when to be serious, and when to simply cheer. Nice try, but you'll have to do better.

How interesting exactly seven days later and we hear this news: Myanmar shuns aid from US warships; UN urges more relief

Myanmar Refuses U.S. Naval Aidhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB121135249768410145.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

The media must stop marginalizing Dr No before it's too late.
Congressman Dr Ron Paul, has been right in all of his predictions. He does not want to be the next US President for power, control or prestige. He states he would be the first to take a paycut once in office. What other candidate is willing to take a paycut? A corrupt politician is someone who takes one million dollars to do a 100,000 job.

Wrong Paul is garbage. He believes we should not help Myanmar, the Tsunami victims or the people in Darfur. He believes the US should be a selfish nation, and only step in when it's in our own self interests. The hell with him.
