Unfortunatley since no two nations on earth can seem to agree on how to stop the abuses..and any attempts to try are unilatterally condemned as interference other cultures that we have no right to interfere with. Its a no win situation for any single nation to try and correct these problems, and untill the so called civilized nations work together I don't see it happening.
I would say that even the burmese people are STILL better off today than they were 100 years ago, even with the atrocities being committed in that country...Modern things like medicines and dams to prevent flooding and other indirect benefits are helping the people even if only as an afterthought or by-product.
Anyhooo thanks for the well thought out and well written post 
Shame, I've seen this just before bedtime, and am too exhausted to reply. (Posting is such hard work [img]smile.gif[/img] ) There are a couple of points I'd like to take up here... I will tomorrow... Until then, goodnight MagiK!
