Perhaps the Burmese just don;t trust the Americans. After all the
Burmese have not (recently) invaded a foreign country, killed
thousands of the citizens, generally ruined the infrastructure of the
country and made such a mess of things that it is now the main issue
in the U.S. elections.....

Perhaps they would just rather have those sort of people NOT help.
