in the case of burma the a.p.b. is very well aware of the ro hingea issue and has been monitoring that and i think it's also very well aware that burma has elections coming up later this year. so the issue i think that we will be looking at is how those do or do not intersect. there are many different forms in which elections can trigger violence. whether you're talking about burma or nigeria, the underlying conflicts that have the potential to spark very enormously throughout both countries, but elections are often a precipitating factor. i think the answer to your question, simply put, is that there's no distinction made. but that the prioritization process tends to put the interagency focus on precipitating events that we have reason to believe will spark underlying potential atrocities. questioner: tom miller. i appreciated your opening remarks. if i asked to you use two additional words and integrate them in your opening remarks, i'd appreciate how you'd respond. one is genocide. and second is syria. sarah: so

why the chinese are so -- the chinese minorities of all southeast asia -- i mean, even right now, burma, malaysia thailand -- i think part of it has to do with the immigrant origins, you know, that instilled a sense of hard work. part of it has to do with family and i guess cultural considerations. but in addition -- one thing i try to bring out in the book -- a lot of it is -- part of it is also favoritism. so it`s kind of circular because you have this entrepreneurial group that starts off and has disproportionate entrepreneurial skills, and often -- in the case of ferdinand marcos -- an indigenous leader will actually go into cahoots with this market-dominant minority and then engage in a symbiotic relationship, where, you know, i`ll protect you, i`ll give you these government franchises and licenses, you make a lot of money and you kick it back to me. so i guess the answer is that part of it is through -- part of the reason for the extraordinary market dominance of the children is entrepreneurialism, hard work. and i don`t know the reasons for that. but at the same time, in some cas

sanctions against burma. which was that it worked better, the sanctions worked better in south africa against apartheid because that regime considered itself more part of a european-american kind of community whereas the burmese generals, some of the hardliners didn't, and some of the softer liners did. so it was slowly working its way towards possibly working, but part of the reason it didn't was those hardliners didn't care what europe or america thought about them. they did care about the money part. so that was what i thought of in terms of the audience doing the shaming. >> yeah. i think that's -- it also gets back to my trader joe's example a little bit because, for instance other retailers are obviously low on that list, and a retailer like winn-dixie, in fact, was much lower than trader joe's, but greenpeace would have had a much harder time going after winn-dixie pause its consumers and its managers are less aligned with the greenpeace agenda. and so it had that mismatch between the people actually t
