Burma Sanctions Must Stop
Thomas Bell, The Daily Telegraph | August 13, 2009
Western sanctions will not help the people of Burma, but rather harm their cause. ++ Sanctions and isolation "are the surest way to keep Burma like Cuba – poor, oppressive and stuck in the past." ++ Western governments should not condemn the Burmese regime any longer and instead encourage western companies to invest there. ++ Western engagement is important as only "trade, economic growth and foreign aid can enable Burma to emulate the rest of Asia and begin to change for the better."
