Burmese Police State
As we watch two simultaneous natural disasters unfold in Asis with huge death tolls, 50,000 in China after their earthquake, and now closing in on 200,000 in Burma (or Myanmar as their junta calls it), its amazing to see the difference in response. This article showcases why the Burmese response is so horrible. In fact it is so horrible that the argument in favor of "humanitarian intervention" is becoming increasingly seen in major media, even England is moving in the direction. This situation may become a watershed for that movement. Though I suspect the truth is that the "reality" of things will make this just another sad event where we throw up our hands.
