Just sayin... This was the party line for the last few years. The chamber of commerce has also been sending in advance teams with executives from Coca Cola and a few other big American firms for over a year now. There is some conflict in our Myanmar policy and it looks like we are heading in the direction of opening markets before human rights. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it didn't work out great with Pinochet. Aung San Suu Kyi deserves the Nobel about as much as Obama does, that is she might deserve a chip off it but when you look at the whole picture it's more about the media and aspirations than acts and facts.
