A Response From Yangon on  British Foreign Secretary?s Criticism

		The British Foreign Secretary?s statement criticizing Myanmar on the
involvement in Narcotic Drugs is regarded here as the Century?s Greatest
Hypocritical Statement.
		Whether Mr. Cook is ignorant of the facts or just deliberately trying to
cover up the most irresponsible and unforgivable criminal act Britain had
committed by forcefully introducing opium into Asia is anybody?s guess.

		The drug problem which we are encountering today is the direct result of
Britain colonial strategy of (150) years ago. Today, many nations in the
region are pooling their resources while other countries outside the region
are assisting in many ways to participate in the fight against the menace of
Narcotic Drugs while the No.(1) culprit nation in the world of narcotic drugs
is sitting in  the U.N Security Council and trying again to victimize
countries or a country she has victimized (150) years ago. Britain should
actually be taking the lead in assisting the victim countries clean up the
mess she had originally, intentionally and globally created instead of
pointing fingers at Myanmar to cover up her own fault.
