Time Magazine: "Is It Time to Invade Burma?"

Well we don't have any troops available anyways thanks to President Retard, so I guess it's a moot point isn't it?

Their military government is scared to death of allowing outside help and possibly having the people catch a glimpse of outside influence. There are reports of military persons stealing care packages. Also they want to distribute the donated items themselves as if it is coming from them. Sad situation. I'm sure that "government" does not enjoy this big spotlight. I hope the international community figures out a way to help.

Burma is a client state of China, so it would need to be done in a way that doesn't risk tensions there. Remember that spy plane incident at the beginning of the first Bush term? We don't need something like that again.

Actually landing troops and securing territory to distribute the aid is craziness, but air dropping supplies against the wishes of the government might be OK.

More broadly, the junta in Burma brutally put down demonstrations earlier in the year and now they letting people die because they're afraid of letting outsiders into the country. This kind of behavior is likely to topple them like it did to Nicolae Ceauşescu in Romania back in '89.

by the way of bushies katrina disaster thinking,

1. isn't this an issue for the LOCAL government to manage?
2. mustn't the LOCAL government first REQUEST u.s. federal help?
3. does this require bush to fly over days afterward to assess the damage and then land for photo ops and declare a job well done by someone named "brownie"?
