Most journalists simplify the entire political situation into a good versus evil scenario, even though it's far more complex. And Burma's not like Darfur and other places, where the open wounds of human rights abuses are so fresh that nobody can't help but noticing. The Burmese have become so blistered and tired of half a century of military rule that it's become "old" news to the rest of the world, even if ethnic genocide continues in the jungles and people die of starvation everyday. An unfortunate reality.

But another factors are included , such as neighbor countries (not friendly or not wanted to see and compete if myanmar grows or ), ethnic problems ( as myanmar have 135 groups) , and the minds of people that they are most satisified people in the world (except the junta). Other many factors still left! We got the independence with unmaturely leaders. Marty, you are quite right, that is why myanmar news are not expressed widely.

Thus there are no vital interests to pursue. Only the intense lobbying of such organizations prompt, governments to take action to ensure stabilization, so that the wheels of commerce may turn. If there were 20 US companies that did 25 billion dollars of revenue in Myanmar, you would see troops, on the shore of Ngwe Saung. Vietnam had shown that ideological pursuits are not worth the political sacrifices.
