Myanmar (Burma) is in the news again - thanks to Wikileaks, the recent release from house arrest of Nobel Peace Prize oppositon icon Aung San Suu Kyi and fallout from the November 7 controlled election billed as a step in moving towards nominal civilian rule. Much of this coverage has a déjà vu quality. Even the Wikileaks cables from the US Embassy in Rangoon closely resemble the analyses of the political situation that we, the authors, were sending to Washington following the last election in 1990.
