For those interested there appears in the Spring 1994 issue of "The
Boycott Quarterly" (Olympia, WA: Center for Economic Democracy) (pp48-49,68)
an article on Pepsi-Cola Products Myanmar entitled, "Be Young, Be Dead,
Drink Pepsi." It includes a copy of a letter from Pepsi-Cola International
dated 23 December 1993 on its 'rationale.' Here's a sample:
Our decision as a corporation to do business in Burma is guided
by our firm belief that trade is one of the best ways to build
bridges of understanding between people -- bridges which help
open lines of communication, find common ground, stimulate
dialogue, and thus bring people and their nations closer together
and ultimately toward world peace.
Andrew.
