"Politics, economy and defence are



[NOTE FROM DAVID ARNOTT. 

HOW DISAPPOINTING. I SEE THE TITLE  "Politics, economy and defence are
inter-related" IN THE 17 OCTOBER  ISSUE OF NLM SNIPPETS ON THE GENEVA
WEBSITE http://www3.itu.int/MISSIONS/Myanmar/n991017.htm  AND HOPE FOR
ENLIGHTENMENT ON THIS IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING SUBJECT. BUT WHAT DO I
FIND? MERELY  A LIST OF SR GEN THAN SHWE'S HELICOPTER PEREGRINATIONS  ON
THE 13TH OCTOBER AND TANTALISING REFERENCES TO THE "NECESSARY GUIDANCE" THE
GOOD GENERAL GAVE.  NO CONTENT. NO SUGGESTION AT ALL OF WHAT THIS WISE
"GUIDANCE" MIGHT BE, AND NO HINT AT ALL OF THE CONTENT PROMISED IN THE TITLE. 

COULD WE HAVE MORE CONTENT, PLEASE.]
