Myanmar

In the New York Times, Friday December 2, it is reported that Myanmar's leader is faulted for silence in the campaign against the Muslim population.  I completed my book WHY NO BHINE almost a year ago, about this same exact issue. And now, a year later, the same issue rears its ugly head. "Satellite images show villages burned to the ground. Human rights groups relay allegations of rape and the slaughter of children. Thousands of refugees have fled across the border to Bangladesh, while the workers have been prevented from reaching the afflicted."  WHY NO BHINE, the anguish of the Rohingya's, is still a book about a terrible reality. It is an immigrant's story, and--unfortunately--such an ugly reality, to ostracize a population in such a terrible way.

And all I feel is anguish because this is still a reality, and not just in Myanmar, but also in America!
