We tried this in Myanmar

  Apparently the latest numbers show the rebels have a good chance of seizing back power.

  I have a question, a Burmese friend of mine in college some years back refused to accept the renaming to "Myanmar" since that was apparently done forcefully by the military junta who took control. I think he had just moved to the US right before the 2007-2008 Saffron Revolution (not sure if that's even how people refer to it locally). Because of my conversations with him, it always seemed awkward for me to use the name "Myanmar". I'm sure it's a sensitive topic, but I'm mostly curious how prevalent that is (still calling the country "Burma"), or if even most of the people who oppose the junta have started calling it Myanmar as well.
