Yeah, sigh away, but the Burmese government aren't about to suddenly start listening to humanitarian reasoning after all these years of keeping their population under thumb.

They've a long track record of resentment and intolerance toward any western countries they perceive to be interfering in their affairs.

Military interdiction is all they would take notice of and that would draw China into the arena even more so than they are now.
