| Burma Junta slams US `meddling’ |
| 2003-07-14 |
| Burma’s military government yesterday accused the US and its allies of ``blind and prejudiced meddling’’ in the country’s internal affairs. In its latest broadside against US support for democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi, state-controlled media said efforts to influence political events in Burma were only causing harm to the people. ``The attempts to pave the way for their minions to seize power will further lead to escalation of internal tensions of the victimised country and also create much suffering for the people,’’ said an editorial in the government-run New Light of Myanmar newspaper. ``This blind and prejudiced meddling in Myanmar’s [Burma’s] home affairs, supporting one side while opposing the other by America and its West European allies have adversely affected the nation’s internal stability,’’ it said. Two points awarded for correct use of "minions" in a sentence. They worked in "victimised","suffering people", and "blind and prejudiced meddling". Not a bad attempt, not up to N.K. standards, but who is? |

| #1 The Burmese junta would be wise to continue with the low-profile strategy. |
