Did anyone notice how it is always the poor countries with natural disasters?

I guess that once they start re-building another disaster happens causing them to start again and it constantly happens?

Apparently the military in Burma believes the rest of the world is stupid! They just approved their "new" constitution with an approving vote from 92.4% of the 22 million registered voters. With a 99% turn out.

Yeah all those people who were hurt and killed or just lost everything, turned out to vote for the abusive dictatorial Generals, who are not giving them any aid.

If they expect the world to acknowledge them as a ligitamate government they are really going to have to do better than this!!!!!!

Talk about paranoid. These people are going to let thousands of people die.

U.S. aid not welcome

And I say: well fine, be that way. I'm sorry for all the people who are caught up in this, but there is nothing we can do if their own government doesn't want the help.

Agree,it's Criminal. What I would like to see, is Countries to make food drop after food drop, in the worst affected areas,and defy these Clowns. At least some of the food, would help them,what the Military doesn't take.I wouldn't tell the Media,of planned food drops,just do it. To me in this case, Diplomacy doesn't work.
