PHUKET, Thailand -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged the nations of Southeast Asia to apply additional diplomatic pressure on the reclusive military regime that runs Myanmar. She expressed worry also about how North Korea was passing on its military capabilities -- and maybe even its nuclear technology to Myanmar. But the JO already told you this and even got the pics to prove it ( by the way, the tunnels are just sewer lines... )
Mrs. Clinton offered a carrot to Myanmar's leaders, saying that freeing jailed pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi could open the way for the U.S. to allow investments in the country, which Washington currently targets with stiff economic sanctions. What the ? trade with Myanmar ? Cool! Any loosening of U.S. sanctions would represent a major change in U.S. policy. The reply of the regime was "we're not donkeys, we don't like carrots"....
