Objectives and short, medium or long-term interests --- Thanks Marwa and Anna. I do a lot of work on and with Myanmar, and confront this conundrum every day. I think that there are short term points - things to be put forward for action now, and there are long term objectives - like the restoration of democracy. It's much more difficult to give serious thought to the medium term. I'm grappling with that right now.
