The wiki entry on the history of the name of the country is interesting. At least I found it to be so. Calling it Burma under current circumstances is not 'wrong' per se. The entry explains why it wasn't/isn't the best considered name by many there, but neither is Myanmar, which is associated with the military rule. I just read it this morning after the question of name arose. Anyways, good to see Obama there and that the speech was good and so many people lined the streets to see him. I've mentioned this here before that it was my mother's favorite country she visited and she loved the people.
