Look at it another way, without pressure they have shown little inclination to let help in.

There is a lot of pressure on Burma even before the cyclone.
They know that Europeans or Americans would change their regime if they could do it cheaply.

My understanding of their reluctance to let help in, is being a military junta they see outsiders as a threat who may weaken their position.

If that true, why to do propose being a bigger threat?
If that is the reason they don't let help inside wouldn't it be better to focus on convincing them that help is no threat than to increase pressure and to show that we really are a threat to them when they don't let help inside the country?
