Madam, - If there was ever a case for invasion and liberation, Burma is it. But because it is not strategically located in a region that supplies a high proportion of the world's oil and is not an opponent of US policy, it is not invaded, its regime is not changed, and its people are not liberated.
Conversely, of course, these are also the reasons, the real reasons, why Iraq was occupied and its poor people "liberated" in the way they were.
The realpolitik of the great powers once again murders tens of thousands of the poor and innocent, albeit in a different way to Iraq this time. When will it end? - Yours, etc,
