This shows how paranoid they are about the US

“Burma Denies Aid From USA”

Good. Now if every other nation that gets aid from us would follow suit.

If they wish to continue to murder their own people what can we do? It is murder.

Good, now let’s bring that money back and start a collection, using all the money that we will STOP shipping overseas to other countries.

[Westlander]

Screw ‘em. Send the aid to to the elderly here in the USA.

This has hurricane Katrina written all over it. The way Louisiana Governer Kathleen Blanco and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagan handled the relief coming into Louisiana is a case in point. I was told by a reliable source that a huge relief convoy was stopped at the Louisiana border and not allowed to enter for several days because of Louisiana politics.

Let the UN and the rest of the world carry the ball awhile. Enough funding for nations who hate our guts.

It strikes me that the death toll has already risen to the one for Hiroshima, and is likely to get much higher. This event, on the other hand, is likely to be mostly forgotten in a few months.

"“Burma Denies Aid From USA”

Then screw them.

Some survivors stripped clothes off the dead. People wailed as they described the horror of the torrent swept ashore by the cyclone.

Even near Rangoon stricken villagers complained they had received no gov ernment assistance and were relying on aid from Buddhist monasteries.

Meanwhile, a senior Burmese army officer has expressed his sincere gratitude for His Majesty the King's expression of concern for the people of Burma, said Maj-Gen Puchong Pongsiri, deputy chief of the civilian affairs department.

I love how the government there is responding to the crisis, praising the royal his majesty tinpot dictator asshat while denying aid to their own people.

Just be sure that all the 'screw em' comments are directed the right direction.

F***in disgusting IMHO!

It’s evidently not just us who are being kept out. Yesterday morning on NPR (yes I listen sometimes, LOL) they had an interview with a UN worker. At that point Burma had only allowed 4, yes four, UN workers into the country. She spoke of the extreme need to have people in place to organize the aid, but they weren’t being allowed into the country. Her final thoughts ont he situation, “It’s a very strange country” and she’d never seen anything like this in the past.

It's Bush's fault. If the prophet were prez they would welcome us with open arms. (sarc)

[BallyBill]

They are paranoid about people finding out how much of that death toll was caused by bullets.

[SlapHappyPappy]

Haven’t these guys ever heard the phrase “Beggars can’t be choosers”?

[WayneS]

Let’s just give the aid to someone else who needs it.

Perhaps the working poor in this country?
