JOIN THE PETITION FOR BURMA
Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships in the world. For decades the Burmese regime has fought off pressure – imprisoning elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and democracy activists, wiping out thousands of villages, imposing forced labour, creating refugees.
On 18th October, Buddhist monks and nuns, revered in Burma, began marching and chanting prayers. The protests spread as hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and public figures joined in, finding the hope they had lost. Now facing a violent crackdown, please show your solidarity to this movement towards reconciliation and democracy and sign the emergency petition supporting the Burmese people — it will be delivered to the United Nations Security Council members and international media this week:
In the past Burma’s military rulers have massacred the demonstrators and crushed democracy. The world must stand with the Burmese people at this time, to show the military rulers that the world will not tolerate repression and violence.
Right now, global leaders are gathering in New York for the annual United Nations summit. In speeches, press interviews, but also in real actions, the world needs to show Burma’s military junta that the global community is willing to act in solidarity with the protesters.
Show your solidarity to this movement for peace and democracy by signing the emergency online petition and supporting

Photographer Thomas Dworzak, was on an assignment for the magazine U.S. News & World Report, accompanying the 44th and 50th U.S. Army Medical Command for this report. An exhibition which has not been seen before in France (it was presented in New York last June), which mixes references to the series M*A*S*H (screen captures and quotations) and photographs by Thomas Dworzak, taken in Iraq between 2003 and 2005.
M*A*S*H: After the success of the controversial Robert Altmann film called M*A*S*H in 1970, American television channel CBS broadcasted 11 seasons of the series of the same name. From 17th September 1972 to 21st February 1983 (and in particular during the peak of the war in Vietnam) American television provided its viewers each week with a poignant and sometimes cutting critique of war, although the slightly rebellious tone of the series was considerably toned down towards the end, a period which coincided with the first years of the Reagan administration.
At first sight, the subject of M*A*S*H is the daily lives of a medical unit in the American army during the Korean War. But the real object of this satire is the Vietnam War. Today, although the Iraq war has given rise to unprecedented levels of chaos, many of the problems raised in M*A*S*H are still very topical, but no television series now looks at them.
