    Burma *does* have oil, numbnuts. If you want Western countries to go in and fight for oil, why don't you start asking the Brits, the Canadians and the Australians?

    "Myanmar currently has 19 oil deposits onshore and 3 others offshore, with total estimated crude oil reserves of 3.2 bn barrels.
    Since Myanmar began allowing foreign investments in 1988, it has permitted foreign companies to conduct onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration. Its major partners include companies form the UK, Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia and Canada."

    "Hey Steve, I believed from way way back
    'Cause I felt that you were on the right track
    Well, I laughed and I cried when I heard you speak
    And I put down ten big bills that week
    Hey Steve! (Hey Steve!)
    I believed! (I believed!)
    And I did what it took to buy into the dream!

    Now, I'm hearing some stuff about optical drives
    And I'm starting to feel some real bad vibes
    'Cause I put down twenty-five hundred bucks
    And I'm starting to feel like I'm sure f***ed
    Hey Steve! (Hey Steve!)
    Oh Please! (Oh Please!)
    Hey Stephen, don't you be thievin' my optical drive!"
