I wish that the US media would use names for countries that we are familiar with
instead of local names. It was a couple of days before I knew that they were
talking about Burma. I mean we know what the CBI theater is, but whoever heard of
the CMI theater???? It happens when there is flooding in East Pakastan too, they often use
some other name, I forget what, that I guess the locals use.
