Protected by the junta

The Nation 
April 9, 1998

"Texan" Pat James (Letters, April 5) no doubt feels safe while in Burma,
especially being ''protected'' by the armed police of the regime which is
partly being supported by the oil industry. 

But who is to protect and support the Burmese people but themselves? They
elected Aung San Suu Kyi their leader long ago. The foreign exploiters and
their local henchmen should get out of their way and let the Burmese people
build the nation for themselves.
