Remember, they are a primitive, backwards race.
If the Burmese/Myanmar government is SO organized to hold a referendum on May 10th 2008. My God, surly they can organize their own relief efforts themselves.
If you don't know something, don't talk about it. You are talking about lives of millions of suffering people!
And yes, the Junta will never help their people.
military government sieze the all the things given by foreign aid group for them now even from yangon Airport instead of distributing for Nargis disasters. For shame!!! damn Thanswhe..
If you are regarding, cyclone victims are humen, and there is a responsible government, their bodies should not rotten in the river.
Than Shwe can attend for voting, but cant visit cyclone effected region.
You can spy your own people and monk relationship in such a disaster, if you are still think yourself at human or even a tame dog,you would help storm victims,not to make profit from world's help and dead bodies.
Please remember Genghis Khan and General Togyo.
When they helping bandits,
1. They can prove that they are not only country to kill Buddhist monks, but bandit Than Shwe and associates.
2. Such a prolong political catastrophe, no one will notice their mainlandpigs influencing not only politically, but also by population. Then these fucking generals concede Burma to China, by support of south east asia associates.
