| May 13, 2008
Until recently, all that was popularly known of the mute military regime that has ruled Myanmar for 56 years was its aversion to civil rights and outside scrutiny, evidenced by the long confinement of the popularly elected Aung San Suu Kyi, the fate of Buddhist monks who occasionally demonstrate in the streets, and its abiding reluctance to allow foreign observers into the country.
All of that is par for the dictatorial course. A distaste for opposition and criticism can be understood, if not excused. But even repressive regimes can behave responsibly in the face of natural disaster. Myanmar's junta has revealed itself in the wake of Cyclone Nargis to be more deeply despicable than outsiders imagined.
