China is the only one with the influence to change anything, but they aren’t likely to push too hard.

This will spell disaster down the road, because it will strengthen the armed opposition forces with the people, and there will be a lot of displaced people to join them.

It is idiocy from our perspective. But we are sane and reasonably guilt free. They are paranoid and guilty as sin and they care not at all for the common people. They will never allow any Military force in any form on their land (and most especially NOT American!) The Junta have a lot to hide and want to keep it that way. They are certainly not the only current or past regime that would do the same thing.

The World is in the toilet. I wonder if I will live long enough to see it get flushed.

The reaction of the junta in Burma is not all that different than what FEMA did after Katrina, and it is both idiocy and madness to deny people in distress all available relief. Get people shelter, food, and medical care, and then return to the politics.

This utter idiocy on the junta’s part. The people of Burma desperately need help. It’s madness not to take whatever assistance the world provides
