The Burma Campaign UK has an extensive list of corporations supporting the brutal military dictatorship in Burma.
Here are some of the more familiar names to those of us who live here in the US.
Chevron
Daewoo International Corporation
Fodor's/Random House
Lonely Planet

Suzuki
There was an excellent article on TomPaine.com, connecting the dots between the Bush regime, Halliburton, Chevron, and the Burmese regime.

Unfortunately, China, India, France and England all have energy investments in Burma.
While we blame Bush - Bush and McCain are blaming China and India's signing more contracts with the military government. Total, a French oil company operating in Burma, says "things would be worse if they left." Russia wants to sell nuclear technology to the ruling government.
No one's going to jump out and fix it because everyone's part of the problem.
underground..you hit it on the head, every one is part of the problem - the New world Order of transnational free and unfair trade. The final grabs for peaked oil. The off shore tax dodging..makes one truly wonder, especially with the total insanity regarding both Iraq and Iran perculating ..when exactly our nuclear winter is coming. The inmates are running the asylum. If Native prophecies hold true and they just might..it will not be long till mother earth shakes off us humans. We got it coming thats for sure. What a sordid , out of balance , non humane world we have created - and the power driver is NOT love...but greed. greed. greed.
Our Karma is gonna be a bitch and it may be instant.
