#1 During my time with Asia Times when it was a print publication (now atimes.com) there was an editorial policy of support for "engagement" with the Burma junta. Many members of the Asia Times staff was opposed to this editorial position, but were overruled by the management. Fast forward to 2010, I am unemployed, Asia Times continues online, and my opinion of the Engagement policy with Burma remains the same: it is a suckers bet.

And Thailand says to Burma: "I drink your milkshake!!!"

#2 'Engage' how, exactly? As in movement to contact or as in "You may fire when the guns bear, Gridley" ?
