"The international community's got to stand up much more than it has," Rice said in an interview with Reuters. "I think what the Burmese (Myanmar) junta is doing is just a reminder of how really brutal this regime is."

"The Security Council shouldn't allow this to continue and I think you'll see us pressing more for Security Council action," Rice added.
