People who live in hermit states like North Korea, Burma, and Cuba already suffer from global isolation.

By increasing their seclusion, sanctions make it easier for dictators to blame external enemies for a country's suffering.

I gathered as much reading material about Aung San Suu Kyi and about Burma as I could. And I read every article and every book she had written. I also had 200 hours of footage of her to watch.
