"EASING BURMA SANCTIONS"
The United States is relaxing restrictions that banned US companies from investing in Burma. The changes come in response to democratic reforms in the Asian nation, which has been under military rule for decades. Democracy activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is no longer under house arrest and is now a member of parliament. But Suu Kyi and U.S. Secretary of State Clinton recently spoke and “agreed that the important progress of the past several months remains fragile."  How fragile is it?

"HUMAN RIGHTS IN BURMA"
Nine human rights organizations had written to President Obama, urging him not to relax sanctions on Burma. They worry the change will “directly benefit individuals and entities responsible for human rights abuses, who contribute to corruption, or are otherwise acting to obstruct political reform."  Can those risks be avoided?
