Remember, the majority of the BurmaNet readers are Burmese.  They presented
the case against Pepsi.  China and other countries  have not neccesarily
spoken up against Pepsi.  The Burma group is very vocal.  
 
  You haven't read the Burma Articles in the L.A. Times about Burmese in the
L.A. area.  And you seem to only know about the Pepsi boycott from the
internet Burma Groups.  Otherwise, you wouldn't know.   
   
   There are people posting messages from the Thai-Burma and India-Burma
borders.

   Forgive us if we are wrong, but your message sounds as if you are a member
