Thing I don't get about all of this banter is why anyone thinks Burma is any different than let's say Africa or Tibet? There are battles that you fight and there are ones you ignore because it's a loosing battle. China isn't going to extend itself further than they have to with the Olympics months away and the tibet thing still in the back of everyones mind...they have enough to worry about already. As for India, Thailand, etc, why would any country want to go in and screw with a region that is relatively unstable? What benefit would it have for them?

Fact is no one is going to go into a region as unstable as this unless there is a direct benefit to them. In this case there is not and therefor they are left to make their own decisions. this is the kind of thing war lords fight over and everyone looses unfortunately. Any reading into 3rd world politics proves this.
