Instead of allocating its budget to Burma’s needy public sectors such as health and education, which he noted are almost invisible in the country’s public accounts, he said “they seem to be earmarked for the type of wasteful and grandiose spending projects that have been a characteristic of Burma’s military regimes for nearly five decades.”

So far as international capital goes, the West is just the lesser of two evils. The other lot has yet to mature beyond the robber baron stage of capitalism. Neither has the interests of the Burmese nation at heart.
So long as regime change is not on the agenda, it means they will only tinker around the problem and continue to engage in gesture politics while waiting for something round the corner i.e. change in the regime from within—the hardliners ousted by the moderates.
"If you don't do it Jones will" just happens to be the classic excuse in justifying their involvement, which ultimately is not so much in the interests of the country concerned as in their own self-interest.
No sooner was the West beginning to show its willingness to change tack over the sanctions than the junta blew it by upping the ante with this bizarre Yettaw trial. It goes to show what their real priority is— continued incarceration of ASSK, thus cutting her off from her own people.
