YES !!!
Burma's military government has criticised United States moves to impose economic sanctions, describing them as "weapons of mass destruction".
In a faxed statement, officials in Rangoon said sanctions shut down interaction, stopped the flow of ideas and deprived people of job opportunities.
The statement, which was entitled "Sanctions used as weapons of mass destruction", came hours after an almost unanimous vote by the lower house of the US Congress in favour of sanctions.
The bill, approved amid increasing anger at the detention of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, mirrored similar measures approved by the US Senate a month ago.
HAHAHAHA. Screw the military junta !!!
Good move by the administration...It can only encourage others to follow suit...
It might be late, it might be litlle....but they're doing it.
I say BRAVO !!
