Burma

Again, Why??? What does the Burmese Junta government think they are gaining by NOT helping their people? Somehow having death on their hands is what they want.

After the cyclone that hit Burma last week, they have hardly let any international aid or aid workers enter the country. And to stoop to an even lower low, they are marking the aid boxes with their logos and using government representatives to hand out the aid, as if they were the ones helping. Its a sad sad show they are putting on.

Put yourself in the shoes of the family members who lost someone. You or your loved ones are dying. You have no home, no clean water, and not at all enough food. The whole world is wanting to send aid and help. Your government stops them. So your family member dies.

Dead, and they suffer till the very end from hunger and dehydration. It is not a quick death. And it could have easily been avoided.

At least democracy is still flourishing! The Burmese government is going ahead with its vote on an amendment to the constitution today :) Yes, it doesn't matter that you have a disaster affecting over a million people at one end of the country. Hell, the rest of the country is dry! They can hold the elections there. The army is being deployed to help maintain "order" at the referendum stations. Another slap on the face of the population. Oh, and you aren't allowed to campaign against the government on this referendum.

Absolute shame on the selfish Junta government.
