Another Crisis in Myanmar...

It looks like the crisis in Myanmar after the cyclone is of epic proportions, with the top US envoy claiming a potential death toll of 100K. Unfortunately, the citizens of Myanmar aren't getting the help they should be, because the ruling military junta (in power since 1990) is dragging its feet in letting in international aide workers. It seems they are interested in getting goods, but are wary of bringing in people. So while they are worried about CIA agents canvassing their country under cover as aide workers, their citizens are dying. This type of disregard for human life -- and this is their own citizens -- makes me quesy to the stomach. Hopefully, that this cyclone, along with memories of the crackdown last year will begin to raise internatioanal awareness as to how horrible this situation is.
