US Campaign for Burma enlist a host of star power for Burma
I have long held deep, deep, yes deep philosophical differences with the US Campaign for Burma for many reasons. Their methods of promoting awareness of the situation in Burma in the past have always seemed to be, trivial, to put it nicely. And the larger question looms, What do they do with all the cash donations their organization raises? I'm not sure, but I am confident it could be put to better use to actually make a difference on the ground and in the lives of those who have suffered at the hands of the junta. Instead, the US Campaign for Burma mostly suffers from the counterproductivity of any other bureaucracy.
But, the reality is, these are the types of institutions which rise to the top. Their latest project has been a collection of star voices, conceding infotainment to spread the word. Even I have to admit, it's better than nothing. And maybe they are right, perhaps this is the best way to penetrate the American ear. How embarrassing that is.
