Apparently the international nice-guy, let's talk, globalist approach is encouraging others ... to ignore the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
BTW, "Myanmar " was a name chosen by tyrants for Burma. Rather than offend dictators and thugs, everyone went right along with the name change.
http://gsn.nti.org/gsn/nw_20090721_1079.php Myanmar Might Be Building Nuclear Program, Experts Say Tuesday, July 21, 2009A number of analysts say that a growing amount of circumstantial evidence suggests the military government of Myanmar is laying the groundwork for a nuclear program, the Associated Press reported today (see GSN, May 16, 2007).
<snip>There's suspicion that something is going on, and increasingly that cooperation with North Korea may have a nuclear undercurrent," said David Albright, president of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security. "We are very much looking into it."
Washington is also looking into it, and U.S. envoys are expected to raise the matter -- at least in private meetings -- this week at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations conference in Thailand.
It remains unclear why Myanmar is building the tunnels, or what was being carried by the North Korean ship. Officials in Seoul and Washington believe the cargo was along the lines of small arms, while one South Korean intelligence analyst said satellite images indicated the ship carried Scud-type missiles and possibly material for a nuclear program in Myanmar.
North Korea is a known proliferator that is already suspected of helping Syria to build a reputed nuclear reactor destroyed in a September 2007 Israeli airstrike (see GSN, June 18).
