I saw a ten year old girl weighed in at 30lbs. Hollow eyed, beyond crying from hunger. UN says 120,000 children are at risk of starving in 'the week'.
Mynamars leadership should be strung up in the equitorial sun, shot, burned, and buzzard fed upon. Always the weak and the children who share the most burden of calamity. Scotty, beam me up.

At the end of the day i don't see why America and other countrys just don't fly over Burma and just drop the aid to the people who need it

Yes i understand that it would be violating their air space and might make them angry But i dont think burma would have the power to stop all the countrys from droping aid

It's not like we are trying to take over the country Just trying to help the people

But the people in power are not the one's going hungry and dying every day

This really makes me sick.

Why can't we the western world just tell the Junta to go screw themselves and air drop relief supplies all over the country? Sure they'll fight and riot and the Junta will get some of the aid, but atleast we would have tried and some needy people could get help.

I said it before, we're going to end up waiting for the hundreds of thousands to die first before we decide to do anything.

Dedicating the majority of your thread to an anti-America rant isn't forgiven by a short "Oh yeah, and others" sentence at the end.

And again, you should be addressing the corrupt regime in Burma, not derailing the thread with your typical bash-America rhetoric.

What I think Mr Bodrul was attempting to say was : What is the security council , the G8 and the rest of the modern world going to do about this blatant abuse of human rights. If he picked out America its because shes the country that has the most ability to do something about it, we as Britain do not have the ability to do much about it. We have no carriers to spare, we have no troops to send in, we have no jets to spare. We are stretched to the very limits.....that is unless you want us to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan all together? Unlike the great US navy which has more ships in its North Atlantic fleet than most of Europe does in their entire navy's put together we are a small nation with very little power projection. But hey, just because he mentioned the worlds super power makes him anti American I mean god forbid that he actually mentioned the US in a negative light for once...I mean jeez that makes him a darn commie....

Bod I'd go hand yourself in before your “rescued” by some “freedom protecting” men in black and taken to a remote island with lots of sunshine and plenty of naval ships near it....

I want to know where the hell is the UN? Why the delay? And where is UNICEF? If they cannont perform their functions they do not need to exist.

UN cant perform without a majority decision from the Security council....there are 5 parties that can stop a vote dead in its tracks which makes the security council idiotic at best. Also Burma is refusing all aid agencies I believe no matter where they are from...

That's it then. Air drop mre's. Devil be damned. And it better be quick.

Unless your willing to foot the bill for that I'd say theres not chance of that happening soon. US congress and the british parliment are tighter than ducks rears when it comes to spending money, never mind what it would be like getting money from the UNSC....afterall doesnt Burma have Anti air facilities?

Modern global aid groups main priority is child and drug trafficking. the good willed people of the world give money to United Way and Unicef or whatever other U.N. Charity and the money never goes to the people.

Lets face it guys and stop kidding ourselves. These groups are just there to arrive in a destroyed area scoop up the kids and ship em out to elites all over the world.

Don't give money because like the tsunami the people will not see any of it and like Katrina on home soil they never really want to help just sieze guns ban people from their homes and send em to nice little camps with asbestos trailers that slowly kill them.

Its horrible what happened to these people but lining the pockets of charity operators won't help them. The secret agencies around the world smuggle these children and drugs and LOVE destroyed areas so they can run amok.

So get your heads out of the clouds people and tell me what was done for the tsunami and katrina victims and if the aid helped them and if it did feel free to give your money to child kidnappers.

Its bad under this Junta but worse under the UN.

Bloody hell! We've got 3 bill to pour into Iraq every month and we cannot afford emergency disaster relief!? Oh, that's right, Katrina. Formaldehyde traps. Why don't they just euthanize us properly?!
