This kind of thing hasn't worked before.

The strange thing about this talk of attacking/invading Burma is that everyone knows that it isn't going to happen.
Therefore, arguing for the use of force is self-righteousness without responsibility. Talking up the consequences of military action before it has happened is always a bad idea, and always misleading. Remember McCain saying US forces will be "welcomed as liberators".
But hey, it's never going to happen, so you get to say "I'm right, but unfortunately no-one listened to me".

Not directed completely at you, SKybird, I've read a lot of calls to invade Burma recently.
