Fresh-faced, clean-shaven, and forever dressed somewhere along the spectrum of white shirt/jeans to blue shirt/chinos, Art is a recently graduated economics major planning to work in finance in the fall. He needs adventure, and soon—lest his life become as boring as he has set it up to be.

One young man, in a remote town I will not name lest I get him in trouble, confided that he and his friends had organized a study group to debate the merits of electoral politics. (One of the participants also runs a free class called "The Secrets of Gmail: a Pre-Advanced Course.") In northern Burma, where minorities recall that ethnic-based parties came in second and third in the 1990 polls - the army...
