Myanmar's National Causes

This is printed everywhere, on billboards, and I got this from the in-flight magazine while traveling on puddle jumpers in Myanmar....Thought you might find it interesting (and a bit scary) what the government conveys to the people:

Our Three Main National Causes
Non-distintegration of the Union ...................................................................................Our Cause
Non-disintegration of national solidarity.......................................................................Our Cause
Perpetuation of national sovereignty.............................................................................Our Cause
People's Desire
* Oppose those relying on external elements, acting as stooges, holding negative views
* Oppose those trying to jeopardize stability of the State and progress of the nation

Four Political Objectives
