Some activists have criticized US Senator Jim Webb’s journey to Yangon to obtain the release of John Yettaw, the American whose actions triggered the charges against Aung San Suu Kyi. But this is consistent with the Obama administration’s policy of seeking a dialogue even with those who are not America’s friends.
某些活动人士对美国参议员吉姆·韦伯亲赴仰光，要求释放引发昂山素姬案的美国人约翰·耶特沃持批评态度。但这恰恰符合奥巴马内阁力求与不是美国朋友的国家展开对话的政策。这样的对话对防止缅甸发展核武器和像伊朗一样操纵选举至关重要。
