Bush has too many eggs in one basket with the Middle East, Iran specifically, and Iraq. <BR/><BR/>The junta doesn't want the West, specifically the US to get any credit. At first they were taking the supplies for themselves. Then changing the packaging. They are evil.<BR/><BR/>Debbie Hamilton<BR/><A HREF="http://www.righttruth.typepad.com" REL="nofollow">Right Truth</A>Right Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274108313586611205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-28162308966808346442008-05-12T18:09:00.000-04:002008-05-12T18:09:00.000-04:00"...Most overseas development assistance ceased af..."...Most overseas development assistance ceased after the junta began to suppress the democracy movement in 1988 and subsequently refused to honor the results of the 1990 legislative elections." <BR/><BR/>What a disaster!<BR/><BR/>If there was ever the case for another change of regimes, Myanmar's it. <BR/><BR/>Where are the left wing voices of "liberal internationalism"?

I so admire Laura Bush for keeping it in the forefront in this country, ever since the crackdown on the monks. <BR/><BR/>The fact is after Katrina we did accept donations from other countries. We do so as gestures of mutual friendship. Our government is not afraid of support from others.<BR/><BR/>Sweet irony that the very former U.N. high and mighty is now calling for 'invasion' when he not long ago accused the U.S. of being a stingy nation when it comes to foreign aid.<BR/><BR/>It'll be interesting to contrast the reaction from China that has now suffered devastating loss and destruction from the earthquake. <BR/><BR/>Rock on, Courtney.Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-18554072283349513162008-05-12T10:10:00.000-04:002008-05-12T10:10:00.000-04:00Hi Findalis.

A military coup arrested the elected gov years ago and has illegitimately running the place.<BR/><BR/>Most democratic states actually plan to care for their own people in emergencies - even negotiating with agencies for future crisis.<BR/><BR/>Myanmar is an especial case. There is little to reccommend leaving the jumped up Generals in charge of the fate of millions who never elected them, who fear them - and like one of the links from BBC show - are sick of them and want to rejoin the democratic family of nations.GrEaT sAtAn'S gIrLfRiEnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760252542953109449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-56447369189059860832008-05-12T09:35:00.000-04:002008-05-12T09:35:00.000-04:00One report I read today suggested sources telling ...One report I read today suggested sources telling that the Burmese military is slowing what aid is getting through, by unpacking and then repackaging the aid supplies with local insignia to make out that its been sent by the Government.

And they have a right not to let anyone in their nation if they want to. No matter how many are dying. This is their right. Invasion of Burma over humanitarian aid would be a bad precedent. What would happen if another Katrina like disaster would befall the US and the world demands that they send aid. Normally the US would welcome such help, but if the US said no, would we be open for invasion?<BR/><BR/>Burma is finally opening its borders and allowing aid in. It didn't take an invasion. Just some persuasion from many sides. I just hope it's not too late.<BR/><BR/>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,355035,00.htmlFindalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.com
