This article and the current feature article on the plans for dams in Myanmar are rich sources of information on this troubled country. Thank you to the editors of the WIP for running them.

The exploitation of the resources of other countries, which has, unfortunately, been a feature of US history, has never been so blatant and so heinous as now. As a US citizen, I am working here to change our course. I appreciate the WIP which is putting information out that may help raise awareness in the US and other developed countries about the things that we are doing which are not revealed in the traditional media.
