The recent sentencing of Aung San Suu Kyi was politically motivated to remove the NLD party from elections later this year and to urge the US to engage. ++ “Western isolation of Burma is almost totally ineffective because China, India and members of the ASEAN give Burma everything it needs.” ++ Washington’s policy on Burma is conversely serving to isolate the US from the rest of Asia despite secret meetings in Beijing with junta officials. ++ North Korea’s attempts to help Burma build a nuclear reactor adds urgency to the situation.
