We wouldn't have been surprised had Kerry been denied a visa. We were surprised to get the Visa and THEN get turned back.

But this was much more disheartening, and wasted a great deal more of your time. While they may consider you "skyful liars", you probably didn't get a lot done on the plane

Nations don't consider anybody anything. People do.

If our fates were left up to the judgments of people who choose their friends based on which side of a border they're born on, then we'd be in serious trouble.

One thing we can't afford to do is to leave important decisions up to people who value national stasis more than human welfare.

It's unfortunate you can't be denied re-entry into the US just as easily. Given that you “cosmotarian” types have effectively declared your disdain for the sovereign rights of nations, why should any nation consider you a friend? Move to Antarctica where you won't have to deal with governments, citizenship or any of the other trappings of nationhood, and leave the nations of the world to the people who value them.

Or, maybe it was intentional.

Doing it this way is a bigger inconvenience to enemies of the state.

I say you guys should get "Banned in Burma" shirts made.

So you're presuming that the totalitarian regime of Burma should be more efficient than, say, the TSA? The Social Security Administration? Because if this happened in the U.S., I would not be the least surprised. Hearing it happened in Burma doesn't begin to throw me.

And since you were in the area, you should have visited Singapore. Of course, with the recent malfunction of the Singapore flyer, there is one less attraction to go to. It is entirely unlikely that Kerry would have been turned away from Singapore.

Sigivald, That is correct. We wouldn't have been surprised had Kerry been denied a visa. We were surprised to get the Visa and THEN get turned back.

I think the confusion is why they issued the visa in the first place, given that the issuing authority (their embassy) had the same information and presumably the same backing database, thanks to the interwebs.

i give them a bit of credit for being well-organized enough to actually put a file together about her and id her . If only they could use such resourcefulness to, instead, prevent starvation and disease among their people.

Or because Kerry has lived in Burma, worked there as a reporter and editor, and continued to write about its politics since her return; she probably has a digital file a metaphorical inch thick, whereas Will wouldn't have as many reasons to appear on their radar screen.

I can't say I find it surprising that she's an Enemy of the State-- but I do find it awesome, in a vacation-spoiling kind of way. Congratulations to Kerry!
