Burmese Bastards

My god, those poor people in Myanmar. The dictatorship is stealing the aid

The World Food Programme has halted aid shipments to Burma after the contents of its first delivery were impounded on arrival in the military-ruled country.
The UN body says the Burmese government seized aid material flown in to help victims of Cyclone Nargis, which has killed tens of thousands.
The WFP said it had no choice but to halt aid until the matter was resolved.

I’m sure the UN is getting ready a very strong letter even as we speak.

    I don’t think I even know four-letter words strong enough to express how I feel about the dictators.
    It’s really too bad sending a spy in to assassinate world “leaders” is wrong….
    (even if said “leaders” basically stole the country.)

    Now is the time to move a great big aircraft carrier right up to coast. Let’s use our power for good, …

    I don’t know why anyone is surprised that a dictatorship is mistreating their people. It’s been the norm since dictatorships were in short pants.
    But I love how Laura Bush went on TeeVee and refused to call it “Myanmar”. Nothin’ but Burma, baby. Nothin’ but Burma.
