In a story I was just reading at Yahoo News, the tragedy of Myanmar continues to grow, and the need to do something to assist these people is imperative. I do not understand why we continue to "negotiate" with this regime, that obviously does not care for its' own citizens. We have done the good and proper diplomatic things, now we need to do the essential "save" the citizens of Myanmar, and to hell with the military junta.
There is absolutely no need to "overthrow" these idiots! Let us work with the British on their "plan" to force aid on Myanmar, by way of a massive air drop. This would assist many, and would have little if any impact on "destroying" or in any other way of taking control of this nation. It might also clear the way for further aid, as the junta "sees" that we are not there to "change" their government, but just trying to help!! We MUST act before the death toll doubles, or triples again; what with more rain, disease, starvation, this is a very real possibility, and We have the ability to stop it~~NOW!!
The story begins:
Torrential rain lashed victims of Cyclone Nargis on Friday as Myanmar's junta admitted more than 130,000 people were dead or missing, putting the disaster on a par with a 1991 cyclone that killed 143,000 in neighboring Bangladesh.
In a shock update to a death toll that had consistently lagged behind international aid agency estimates, state television in the army-ruled former Burma said 77,738 people were dead and another 55,917 missing.
The May 2 storm has left another 2.5 million people clinging to survival in the delta, where thousands of destitute victims are lining roadsides, begging for help in the absence of large-scale government or foreign relief operations.
