New Threat Looms As Victims Remain At Risk; Junta Says It's Under Control, No Help Needed
- This is a crime against humanity in my opinion. At what point do we become culpable in this crime against humanity for watching it happen, allowing their government to treat these people this way, and not forcibly taking action???
Don''t we teach our children that it is just as bad, if not criminal, to watch a crime and do nothing as to participate in the crime?
Why aren''t we and other governments just doing fly by drops of aid packages over Myanmar? If this country is so devastated, what can their government do to retaliate? Would they shoot our planes down? Would they dare? It sounds like the Junta is just the latest bully on the block in need of a good spanking.
A bigger question on everyone''s mind is...why would the Junta let this happen to their own people?
Is it because of pride, ego, vanity, greed, or lack of knowledge? Does any of this matter when people...children...are getting sick and dieing by the thousands from disease and starvation that COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED!
What are we waiting for? Permission from a corrupt government...that will never come?! God save our souls in our warm comfy beds tonight.
It is brave action, quick bold decisions, and lots of humanitarian aid that will save the people of Myanmar from certain death; not more long negotiations that fall upon a deaf and blind government.
Please, powers that be...do the right thing, not the politically right thing! - Reply to this comment

- These people have 2 choices, either sit and wait to die... or ,,,,, an uprising where they get to kill everyone wearing an uniform. The US should supply weapons to the rebels to overthrow these scumbags. Praying ain''t gonna do anything.

- Heavenly Father, I pray for these people and their government. Please intervene so that they will receive the care that they need. Have mercy on all of these people and protect them from another possible storm. Provide food, clothing and shelter through the means of any assistance that will be allowed into Myanmar. Nothing is impossible with you, Father, so please reach down and show Your great power to this people. In Jesus'' name. Amen
