Hello.
The Burmese/Myanmar government is making a bad situation worse. It’s what they do. This particular group of military yahoos like to do as they please.
Yet, I think that the American government criticizing the Burmese/Myanmar junta’s reluctance to help their citizens’ in this time of disaster is a bit of the old pot and kettle.
For proof, please take a look at the Katrina disaster that is still going on. Most of the reconstruction of the hardest hit areas has been accomplished by churches and private groups. The government is too busy suing and arresting fraudsters to do much about the actual damage. They are not doing a thing about the lag time of the insurance companies. There are people out there still waiting for an estimate. The list of crap that is not being done is endless. And I still can’t get past the fact that after the hurricane the CANADIANS made it to New Orleans faster than FEMA.
Makes one want to weep with shame.
So the Burma/Myanmar military government may be a hotbed of malignant narcissists with guns, but really the Bush Administration may not want to draw too much attention to that fact. Not when our own Natural Disaster Area still looks like it does and thousands of people still can’t go home.
