I always thought that is what the UN was created for, to stand up for the weak, few and vulnerable...

Where is the lame, worthless, corrupt, brutal dictator- appeasing and anti-America biased UN NOW??????

If the sick, starving, homeless, injured and oppressed victims of this little country are not prime candidates for UN protection and largess, what the hell is the UN good for?

Sorry but I like answering rhetorical questions. The UN is worth about as much as the spineless neighboring countries (Thailand) whose leaders sit back profiting from the General's drug, gems and logging while the overwhelming majority of their own people despise the Burmese leadership. PM Samak recently spoke admiringly of how the Generals in Burma "control dissent". At least now, they are sending aid and are genuinely horrified by the scale of death in Burma, but what did they expect???
