My question then is what would you have the western world do? What does the west have to force the Junta's hand? I've thought about this for a bit, and maybe it's because I'm too unimaginative, but I don't see many options out there. Political isolation? They've done a fine job cutting themselves off. Military invasion? Too extreme. Peacekeeping force? Has that ever worked?

To be honest, if the west can't even be bothered with Darfur, what makes you think they'll care about Burma?
