THE NATION: Protected by the junta



Mailbag 

      Protected by the junta

      ''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.
