Another update (based on what I'm listening to right now on the radio):

The Burmese junta is now complaining about the aid workers. They are basically saying "the survivors do not need your chocolate bars. They can survive on their own on the healthy vegetables they grow on the delta. Stop sending supplies. Send money directly to us."

Also, the Navy ships loaded with relief supplies, medical supplies, doctors, etc. are about to weigh anchor and go about their regularly scheduled mission if the junta doesn't let them deliver soon.

We need someone to plant some evidence that the junta is building WMD.

Dammit.

You just knew in your bones those chuckle heads in power there were going to make it worse.

Now the UN has halted transfer of aid to Myanmar because the Militray Junta government has seized the aid cargo that has landed there.  They also suggest to the world on the whole to only sent goods, but no personnel.

There are people starving in the street, there are thousands of people who are in need, and there are people who are trained to deal with such hardships willing to help, yet the Myanmar government would obviously rather let them die.

I just don't get it!

It's an evil military dictatorship that doesn't really give too squirts or a giggle about the people. What don't you get?

Yeah, it's a lot like N. Korea, only they aren't communist, so we really would be supporting them if we were still fighting in S. Vietnam.
