HOW COULD HELPING the BURMESE in 2008 BECOME a REALITY?

 

Historically, the Burmese (or Myanmar's) government has been run by a set of large military elite families for nearly 5 decades. For the majority in natural resource rich Burma, life is nasty brutish and (often) short.

 

Both slavery and lack of human rights are the keystone of most world citizens' current memories or identification of Burma and the situation faced by most Burmese peoples.

 

Meanwhile, the Burmese military elite families run the country on the theory that "North Korea is our model for human rights and leadership".

 

However, unlike North Korea, Burma is a multicultural state where a good solid majority are against the world of law-and-security as defined by the elite military leadership, sometimes known by the awful acronym: SLORC.

 

This multi-headed fascist regime is why Burma has been permitted to continue for decades to continue in its anti-human rights path.

 

This international neglect is largely thanks to (1) illegal and legal investments from abroad, (2) the silence of Thailand-plus ASEAN--and India on the most horrible acts of Burmese leadership, (3) the legal and illegal trade in natural resources ranging from lumber, rubies, to oil, and (4) continued military aid and UN support from the state, military, and industries of China.

 

Most neo-cons who have agreed to aggressive wars in Iraq and advocated war with Iran, generally agree with the interpretation of sovereignty expounded by the French Foreign minister.
