Birmânia (artigo em The Corner)

Na tentativa de limitar a influência chinesa, controlar minorias ou não prejudicar as relações comerciais varios países asiáticos têm sido demasiado complacentes e têm inclusivamente colaborado com o regime ditatorial de Rangoon. O Senador John McCain acha que a administração americana deve deixar bem claro que essa atitude não é aceitável e que Colin Powell deve aproveitar a próxima cimeira da ASEAN para trazer a lume o assunto da repressão na Birmânia.

"It is hard to believe that Americans and Europeans care more about the rights of the Burmese people than do people in Bangkok, Beijing, New Delhi, Manila, Jakarta, and other Asian capitals. These nations will always have Burma as a neighbor; yet Burma will not always be ruled by the generals. When they are gone, free Burmese leaders will speak the truth about ASEAN and its support for Asian autocrats, unless that organization and its member states make a strategic decision to stand with the Burmese people in their struggle for freedom today"

"A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom."
