With the recent hurricane and initial death from that, along with the seizure of humanitarian aid and reluctance of the Burmese junta to allow help into the country (or even help the affected population on any great scale themselves) the end result - more death from disease, injury and famine - it seems to me that the junta is practicing an EXTREMELY DISGUSTING form of population control in one part of the country, while using propoganda to try and fool and appease the rest of the population, minimising any attempts at uprising (or deadly protests). Constitutional vote when your people are dying? Are they serious?
Rwanda had an eventual result, as did Cambodia. It took too long in those countries to name just two with the use of past tense, not current.
Will it take too long yet again?
I am looking at it cynically, but how many reasons are there to dissallow your neigbour's help (distant and immediate), if your population is in need AND KNOW that you are unable to go it alone?
Dear widget maker (?)
Living in a DEMOCRACY, We are ALL entitled to express what we believe, without others attempting to jam THEIR thoughts down other's throats. We can't all have IQ's of 2000.
Do you remember the ORIGINAL reports out of Cambodia or RWANDA - that nothing was wrong, or that there was nothing wrong in South Africa before Apartheid ended, or out of East Timor that nothing was wrong, or out of Zimbabwe that nothing IS wrong (?) Have you ever spoken to people that have come from those countries.
I am very unlikely to start any wars as long as there are people who wear very dark sunglasses.
