(FILES)Senator Jim Webb, D-VA, attends a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the President�s decision on missile defense in Europe September 24, 2009 in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The United States has won initial support for a new strategy of engaging Myanmar but under the surface, a debate is brewing on how to influence one of the world's most reclusive regimes. President Barack Obama's administration, which has made dialogue a signature policy around the world, had conducted a months-long review of Myanmar policy that -- so far -- has won support across the spectrum. Advocates of engagement, led by Senator Jim Webb who visited Myanmar in August, welcomed the new effort to reach out, while Aung San Suu Kyi's champions were relieved the administration will not immediately ease sanctions.
