No. It's as simple as that.

As LP said, people can choose on their own whether or not to go. Having more information about a country, in this case in the form of a guidebook, can only be a good thing. I'm not advocating travel to Burma, I just don't see any reason to ban such a book. For one thing, I sometimes read guidebooks to places I haven't been and don't plan on going just for a different perspective of the place.
