Inside Burma

It has been reported that there are many Westerners of all colors and disguises inside Burma buying rubies, sapphires, jade and other colored stones of all qualities despite the hue and cry of banning Burmese colored gemstones. It's an addiction + no matter what the trade associations, politicians, bureaucrats and human rights activists try to do behind the scene discreet dealers will flock to Burma one way or the other. I think you need someone like Edward Zwick, the director and producer of the film Blood Diamond, to tell world in a dramatic way. I think he did a good job by producing the movie to highlight the plight of poor Sierra Leoneans. Blood Ruby would be a perfect title.
