Myanmar Might be Going Nuclear

Just saw an article saying that Myanmar (formerly Burma) is allegedly getting help from North Korea to be able to have nuclear capability. Reportedly, they are doing so for fear of attack from the US. Could there be a country lower on our priority list of attacking than Myanmar? Do they have lots of oil? No. Are they predominately Muslim? No. I mean, they are one of the world leaders in teak manufacture and are the second leading country in terms of opium manufacture, but why would they really think we'd be a threat?

Natural Gas Deposits. That is about it.

I dunno, GF. We are sorely in need of some grade-A opium in this country! Not that I have any first-hand knowledge of that, but... just sayin'.

Yeah, we're going to transport natural gas all the way from Myanmar to the US. On the bright side, that would create a helluva lot of jobs to make that happen. Maybe if they economy hasn't turned around by the time we finish the Census we should actually consider sticking it to the Burmese???
