Perhaps the Saudis would take them in, the poor dears.

I sort of don't blame President Gayoom for spreading his global warming nonsense. He is president of an island nation whose fate is solely in God's hands.
Just as God took the mythical nation of Atlantis, He may also take the Maldives. And, neither SUVs or greenhouse gas emissions contributing to the junk science of "global warming" will have had a thing to do with.
It's a terrible and sad trgedy that has struck those nations, but using it to exploit the nonsense of global warming is just more leftist politics to try and control the rest of the world.

"We were not in any way prepared to deal with this disaster," Gayoom told a special session of the national parliament.Failure to prepare on your part does NOT constitute a crisis on our part!

"Foreigners are not allowed to overnight on islands inhabited by Maldivians and special permission is required to visit them." But they will cheerfully accept all aid offers.

Well... and the Tsunami was apparently caused by evil American corporations spearheaded by Bush.

The tragedy struck the atoll nation of 330,000 Sunni Muslims which is already facing the prospect of extinction from sea level rise caused by global warming. Gayoom had warned that a one-meter (three foot four inch) rise in sea levels could submerge his country.
This is it! We should move all the terrorists from Gitmo, Iraq, and the rest of the world here. This will definitely do the job. Let allah save them. Global warming could be very useful for fighting terrorism.
Hey! Don't get mad at me. I'm trying to "bridge the gap" with Lefties for all of us. I think I've found it.

Each island is a single resort hotel with the geographical formation allowing the country to keep foreigners and the local Sunni Muslim population separate except in the one square mile capital island Male. Foreigners are not allowed to overnight on islands inhabited by Maldivians and special permission is required to visit them.

Wiped the shrubbery right off, didn't it? I guess we'd call that "razed."

What the heck are we worrying about a Sunnie Muslim nation for? They are the enemy.

Actually we should help them. Let's show them the moral superiority of Western civilization!

Actually I met a few Mohammedans from the Maledives a few years ago. They are decent people and far away from belonging to the "homicide bombing" crowd.
