The US military has said it has about 11,000 servicemen and four ships in the region on a military
exercise that could be harnessed to help, but the Burmese "Government" is preventing them from entering.

Countless other countries have pledged aid and it is sitting on the tarmac in airports
because the Burmese "Government" is refusing any assistance with the distribution.

Quite frankly if a million or so people are going to die because of their insecurities / direct
incompetence, someone somewhere should seriously consider using this opportunity to take them out.

And I don't mean for dinner..

It’s such a shame, that we have all of these resources and technology available to assist people in these
sorts of disaster situations and narrow minded folk prevent us from using them to save peoples lives.
