At that risk of sounding sarcastic: Mr George Bush, I beg of you, ramp up from your rhetoric and please make up lies about how the Burmese Government
has Weapons of Mass Destruction, promptly assemble a "Coalition of the U.S. trade dependent" and "pre-emptively strike" at the poor impoverished nation, toppling their brutal dictator, before they do anything rash. It would be good if the world's leaders could put their troops where their mouths are (instead of where the oil is) and take some real action, in Burma and in Sudan. I'm sure this is a nation that won't turn into fundamentalist terrorists (I don't really picture a Buddhist monk toting an AK, do you?), and perhaps you'll find a new oil fields or gas deposits you can plunder to service your continued energy needs.
Oh wait, I think the Chinese have beat you to it, if only by proxy.

At least other authority figures have the courage to speak the truth. Thankyou, Mr. Alan Greenspan.
Myanmar has about 19 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves, only about 0.3 percent of the world's total reserves, according to BP's Statistical Review of World Energy at the end of 2006. Although it doesn't currently export gas to China, its supply could potentially help feed a rapidly growing Chinese economy hungry for energy.
