Apparently the Sears Tower in Chicago is to be renamed the Willis Tower. The question is will this name last as long as the Fleet Center, Enron Field or Myanmar?

From what I heard on NPR, the local name that Burmese always called their country was "Myanmar." But who am I to argue with J. Peterman.

"Myanmar" is run by a despotic junta, so I say the hell with them, let's call it Burma.

Is also native name and was favored by a repressive dictatorship.
