Mr. Ban-ki-moon might be like Shari Villarosa, the top American diplomat in Burma, said in News Hour with Judy Woodruff that in the relief camps, “nobody interfered with me as I wandered about. But certainly since we were taken from helicopter, from place to place -- but we couldn't sit…

Now the media is swallowing the political spin that World Bank cannot give any loan to Burma which is late in its payment (1997). If so, why hadn’t any loan been given to Burma prior to 1997?

The relationship between the international financial institutions and Burma can best be described…

Although the Burmese-FADA (Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003) is the public law which openly decrees to oppose any World Bank or IMF loans to Burma, the U.S has been doing so SINCE 1997 at least (if not since 1987).

What are the precautions the Japanese medical team should take if granted an invitation to go and help the cyclone victims in Burma? What are the three scenarios they should be aware of? In case of another attempt at people’s power revolution from the part of regime opponents, politicizing the…

The problem with sending Japanese medical team into Burma is that the Western governments would be less concerned for their security and the regime opponents might act more recklessly. On the other hand, the Japanese medial team members would be more willing to stay inside their lodgings during the crackdown…

You trust a U.S admiral who is in the country for two hours more than Burmese generals who have been all over by helicopter; and you believe that an US admiral want to save Burmese lives more than Burmese generals. It is incredible. How different is the public brainwashed by…

Part V: Terrain is Quite Clear but One More Thing to Do

What if the West’s warnings are not serious or taken seriously and the regime opponents would nonetheless capitalize on the presence of international aid workers and make another attempt at people’s power revolution? The Burmese government will, euphemistically…

Part IV: Terrain is Quite Clear but One More Thing to Do

One more thing can be and need to be done in order to make the Burma’s political climate less poisonous and make its risk-averse leaders more willing to allow the international aid workers in. The Western governments will…
