To the Editor:
"Business Must Shun Burmese Despots" (Viewpoints, Aug. 28) reflects a rhetorical, outdated and culturally biased view of Myanmar.
Most North American commentators on human-rights issues in Asia don't consider the irreparable damage that years of colonialism inflicted on the social fabric of nations like Myanmar, formerly Burma. Is it any wonder the powers that be are suspicious of Western-style anything, especially our less than perfect democratic systems?
