Nudge Burma's junta to reform
News Type: Opinion — Seeded on Thu Oct 4, 2007 10:38 PM EDT
Article Source: The Pioneeradvertisement
India needs Burma for connectivity to the North-East, which is denied by Bangladesh; as a bridge to the East; and, for oil and gas as an alternative to Iran. A strong and effective military-to-military relationship has been developed over the years. Yet, India has to ensure that it is not on the wrong side of history. Burma is the only ASEAN country with land borders with four insurgency-ridden States. With its western flank resting on the epicentre of terrorism in Pakistan, India can ill-afford an unstable eastern frontier. The Generals run the most durable military regime anywhere and cannot be wished away as long as China and Russia have their veto.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Just what the entire continent doesn't need.
China continues to prop up North Korea; I suppose there's a chance it will hem and haw and we'll see the same thing with Burma.
Everyone could be debating this one a year from now. Maybe longer.
