Yes Pepsi has a moral obligation to pull out of Burma.
When multinational companies invest in Burma, the military receives monetary support. Without funds provided by the multinational corporations, the military would more than likely collapse, allowing democratic forces to carry out the job they were elected to do in 10. Without funding, fewer soldiers would be available. Very few members of the army are there because they willingly enlisted. They are there because the army is the only place a person can receive steady pay and benefits. By cutting off funding to the military, it will weaken and eventually crumble.
Another effective way of cutting funds is to raise public awareness. Public protests and boycotting is a way of communicating to the public that human rights and justice are being violated.
In addition to boycotting products, multinational companies that pull out of countries for morality issues can make a strong statement in favor of human rights. Like governments, large corporations have tremendous power and influence. The presence of a foreign corporation in a country can either support or interfere with the democratization process in that country. If it interferes, it can potentially mean the corporation becomes a source of money in support of evil.
In summary, if multinational corporations pull out of Burma, there is hope that the military will fail in their attempt at creating a vibrant economy and therefore force the military into a democratic reform to attract foreign inventors back in to Burma. Without a radical change in the way Burma is governed, the people of Burma will continue to be denied their basic human rights. More importantly stated, without human rights there is little hope for economic and social justice in Burma.
