Stupidity, natural disaster and mass murder
Burma - it's incredible to see what ignorance + guns (a junta) can do.
First, they don't inform their people about a natural disaster at the doorstep.
Second, the natural disaster happens and kills tens of thousands, and makes over a million homeless.
Third, they call for outside aid, but avoid it gets to the people who need it.
Fourth, they continue their sham elections to ensure they 'justify' more illegal oppression.
The first light in this: France has decided to ship in aid, without the proper permissions of the madmen who lead Burma into hell. Bravo France!
Please USA, this time send two F15's, just to scare the hell out of Than Shwe and his hunting dogs, and send them packing; it could save over a million lives with one tiny gesture. Please invoke the new international legal doctrine known as Responsibility to Protect. There is no oil in Burma, so this time you can show you do care about people.
A good summary (as usual) on Agam's blog.
