An editorial that's spot on

Bravo, Bangkok Post for hitting the nail squarely on the head with your
biting editorial. Man will be judged by his deed and not by his rhetoric. If
the Burmese generals are sincere about it, they could have easily joined the
UN plans for drug eradication. Why then did Interpol choose to hold its
conference in Rangoon when they could have arrested the two greatest drug
war lords, Khun Sa and Lo Hse Han, living about a mile away from where they
were having the conference, as your editorial pointed out.

The answer is simple, they want to have a good execuse for a platform for
the German banks to launder narco dollars for these drug war lords of which
SPDC is the main pillar. Now it seems that Interpol has joined the ranks of
Total (with the BNP), Unocal and the hush-hush banks from Singapore. When
Paul Higdon stoutly defended SPDC justifying that dialogue is far better
than boycott, he forgets that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been asking for
dialogue for the last decade. Surely the truth will be known one day.
Meanwhile, the world watches these money launders give credence to the
Burmese junta which is trying its level best to get legitimacy in the
international community.
