Young Buddhist monks study at a monastery in Yangon on September 27, 2009 a day after the two-year anniversary of the ruling junta's violent crackdown on Buddhist monks who led mass street protests. Two senior US envoys have arrived in the secretive military-ruled state for talks with the junta and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, the most high profile US visit to the country in 14 years.
