National Review's Jonah Goldberg, recapturing the spirit of the days when he was making fun of Katrina victims, has some advice --
From what I've seen and read the military is desperate not to kill monks — very bad p.r., that — but they don't much mind killing anyone else. Wouldn't it be smart for everyone to wear monk robes and, I suppose, shave their heads? The images would have enormous impact, the troops wouldn't know who is and who isn't a monk, and it would give a thrilling "I am Spartacus!" narrative twist to the uprising.
Apart from anything else, the regime is killing monks. And what would the women do? If it's obvious that everyone is pretending to be monks, then the protected status, such as it is, would disappear.
