Mynamar

"We have demonstrated in crises around the world ... our logistical capability to get humanitarian assistance quickly in to the people who need it," is a quote from a top diplomat trying to get aide workers into Mynamar to help hundreds of thousands of citizens in distress. Reading the papers and watching the events on the news have got me thinking. What type of government would allow people in such need and without life's most basic needs like food and water, to starve and remained stranded? It's been said the government is doing so only to suppress certain ethnic minorities. After the tsunami hit Asia the U.S. was doing air drops in two days. America along with the U.N., Red Cross, and many other countries have offered help but the government won't except. Want kind of country, leaders, and citizens would allow something like this to happen to there own?


Oops...................................I think I just started typing before I thought about what I said. I was not going to post this but after some thought I guess I might as well. The quote that starts of the posts. Is from Shari Villarosa, the top U.S. diplomat in Myanmar.

Maybe the government in Mynamar has the same agenda as the Bush Administration does. Although America did start doing air drops after the tsunami in two days. Help didn't arrive in New Orleans after Katrina for a entire work week. Bush did a fly over in Air force 1 a few days after and then came back later, but only after TROOPS, not aide workers, arrived to take some pictures with a couple black people for the cameras then talked about pledging money that still hasn't arrived.

Maybe if the New Orleans police chief had gotten on TV saying it was terroists talking on cell phones, Bush would have moved quicker.
