Myanmar Follies
http://chinamatters.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ myanmar-follies.htmlAaah...from China Matters’ lips to Gordon Brown’s ear. I wrote a couple days ago how I expected the Myanmar story to evolve: ...Western withholding of aid to continue, demands for intrusive and unnecessary access to intensify, and criticism of government to escalate during recovery and reconstruction
