Secret engagement with the Regime is better than letting DASSK rot in jail. US companies cant just get up and divest either, as they are contracted to pay large lumps sums capital gains taxes on future earning as penalties to the regime. Any old way, lots of lessons learned I hope by now (20 years later). It doesnt help to demonize the whole military either... find the good soldiers for reconciliation and a new way forward. Also, this is "Burma's" problem not the USA or UN, let the Myanmar people fix it themselves. Bush leaves Obama with an opportunity for a new way forward on Myanmar.
