For aid, I suggest ... ( 6 months ago by cetaepsilon)
For aid, I suggest hiding weapons in the food and medicine crates. The junta has lost control of the disaster affected area and this is truly a good opportunity for the Burmese to seize control

We effectively gave food and aid to the Myanmar military. I'm glad that my tax dollars are going into such wonderful ventures as Iraq war, and stuffing food into fat pig Myanmar general's faces. LOL

THERE WAS NO CYCLONE.
It was all made up by the Jews and George Bush as an excuse to INVADE! Besides, America can't be the world police.

Chinese communist government are supporting these Burma's Generals who in turn killed their own people.
God is probably looking down on CHINA.

FUCK Myanmar!
First they get hit by this natural disaster and complain and whine about not getting any help...
THEN the US tries to help them only to get turned away... FUCKING IDIOTS! Death toll over 100 grand?? I think not... thats only to get "attention" to the story and to get free aid. I wouldn't be suprised if only 87 people died...

Natural disasters ... ( 6 months ago by pcegrl)
Natural disasters in Myanmar and China. If anyone wanted to put in an insurance claim would they not be classified as ....Acts of God........?Perhaps a higher power out there beyond the heavens is not happy?
Also the English language has gone to the dogs most users can only use the "F" word sad really; a true sign of regression.....I will pray for the poor victims!!!!

with these natural disasters happening i think it's about time that the world will be united in prayers. mother nature is no longer happy about how the world is treating her. #1 is the global warming, the cause and effect of it. it's time to love mother earth, nurture her like a newborn.

Myanmar Military Regime is now guilty of crime against humanity. Enough of the soft approach, its time for solid action against the Myanmar generals for crime against humanity which is punishable under international law.
The NAVY always has ... ( 6 months ago by KineticFrenetic)
The NAVY always has several ships on WestPACS supporting training missions for various multinational elite forces in the Pacific. If Bush wasn't such a "TEXAN", he could easily drop a VTC to the WR on an AGF class. To which the AGF would channel in an OPSEC message to other supply ships in the area. Pick up a shitload of supplies in Thailand, and drop it off at a port in Myanmar. One ship could provide thousands of people the supplies they need in a matter of 2 days.
The only reason we ... ( 6 months ago by ericjon652004)
The only reason we (the USA) are so interested in "helping" Myanmar is to get in and get our hooks into the country for thier oil.
Myanmar Oil and Gas topped export earnings with $2.16 billion from gas last year....and they've recently discovered some very lucrative offshore oil fields.
Myanmar has held off the rest of the world for long enough.. We aren't going to take it anymore.... .LET US IN!!!!
Array ( 6 months ago by bornbillsmith)
You're an idiot.
If the USA DIDN'T HELP YOU WOULD SAY THAT WE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO HELP, and would compare our lack of efforts to help to other nations efforts.
You can't criticize the USA for doing the right thing.
Would you rather we did nothing to help.
There are millions ... ( 6 months ago by t4705mb6)
There are millions of average americans who REALLY DO want to help. It is our government, corporations & religions that are drooling over this disaster. The fascist way is to get a toe in the door & take over..for money. Stuff. Most americans are NOT like Carl Rove. He says ANY disaster is an opportunity for the wealthy. He framed the policy here for Katrina's victims...martial law, racism, classism and a land grab for the "base". PEACE.

also read t4705mb6's response.
There are over 744,000 homeless is the USA, 7.6 million americans unemployed, a huge percent of us without any kind of health insurance, rampant murderous unchecked police brutality, we basicaly have a dictator running our country into the ground....
Give me a break with the benevolent benefactor routine for other countries.
Let's help our own for a change. With that said hornballsmouth or whatever your name is... who is the idiot?

totally agree t470
I understand. ... ( 6 months ago by t4705mb6)
I understand. Voting isn't going to work because nearly all politicians are inherant greedy liars. A ten million person march on Washington might open the door for taking back the country. It worked in the '60s & similar actions have been successful in many countries. I believe we should take care of our own too but help others who are repressed as well. Thank you & PEACE.
Array ( 6 months ago by bornbillsmith)
Still you.
Do you think all Americans will be employed and there will be no homeless and everyone will have perfect health care if only we change the way the government is run.
There are homeless people, poor people, what everywhere.
Helping others is a responsibility we have and for you to suggest we don't help the victims of this natural disaster doesn't only make you an idiot (who knows, we might need help like this in the future) but also cruel & inhuman.
You are obviously ... ( 6 months ago by ericjon652004)
You are obviously not an American and could probably care less about America.
I'm suggesting we take care of America first... but you already know that.
You keep calling me an idiot because I have an opinion you don't agree with...
Really, all you keep saying is "Help the people of Myanmar"... and haven't given one second of thought to what I've said....
Pretty much done with you.
I'd have to agree ... ( 6 months ago by hortence0freep)
I'd have to agree with your assessment of the above statement. It is an Idiots Delight.
Though no government that I know of intercedes without its' own interests, would you agree that $2.16 billion "last year" is a drop in the oil barrel? We helped in Chernobyl, no oil there. We are giving aid to China. Maybe we plan to put troops in the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve?

Forget it, Red China has already got their filthy mud-hooks in Myanmar's oil industry.
