We''re beating a dead horse trying to get the Myanmar govt. to act sensibly and treat their own people right. We need to either drop the food in there by force, or come home. Talking to them will get us nowhere.

Al2008,
Why do you even start in on the GW topic? This article has nothing to do with the issue. By the way, I really have to say it is sad that CBSnews has not mentioned any of the recent articles showing that there has been record ice growth in the poles, the lack of temperatur increase/decrease in deep water recordings or any other data to show that GW maybe a farce. In my opinoin the world is changing as it has since its creation (not a reference to religion). Only a moron would think the world is static and not dynamic. Actually only a moron would think that through our actions we could keep the world static. Things change and that is that!!!! As for beefing up corn ethanol production, to now it has only increased the price of food. Also corn ethanol is not as energy efficient so it is not a solution. it would be better for us to find other means of producing ethanol (sugar, algae, etc...). Or how about using nuclear for our home power and use our coal for liquid to oil programs (not as efficent either though). As for mother earth needing our protection, the world generally balances itself. See our history of climate changes. One last thing, if we cannot predict our weather patterns past a few days, we definately cannot predict climate shifts (way too many variables).

Old AL2008 cuts & pastes this same post on every story that CBS put up regardless of the subject. Kinda like an alzheimer''s patient who keeps saying the same thing over & over to the point that people tune him out. Just ignor him, everybody else does.

Re: "U.S. Ships May Abandon Myanmar Aid Efforts"

Probably just as well for the people of Burma. We can be certain that the Bush regime would never, ever help anyone, unless they got their customary pound of flesh in return.

On the other hand, why not just give the supplies to Chevron? I''m sure that their buddies in the Myanmar junta would gladly accept them, and Chevron could help to gather, torture, and rape the corpses, then boil them down and use the rendered remnants as fuel for their "Human Energy" campaign.

Just leave them be guys. Let the people grow weary of their own rulers. If they fear to prosper in freedom, then they have selected for themselves a tyrant.....It''s sad enough this happened to them without rubbing it in more.

AL2008, what the hell? The article is about how the administration is TRYING to help another country after a disaster, and being constantly turned away. "Our mother?" Get real. People like you whine when we do help, and whine when we don''t.

I*m appalled at the administration*s lack of response to the global warming hurricanes, and cyclones as well. We have no comprehensive strategy in place whatsoever, let alone a detailed plan of action to mitigate the effects of these cyclones, and mother earth continues to suffer while the administration refuses to go forward and do what*s right for mother earth.
.
How long must we sit idly by while our mother continues to suffer from the warming taking place at a feverish pace? How long must our mother suffer before we have proper c02 taxes put into place? How long must the destruction of mother earth take place before we finally put responsible regulations into effect? How long must we wait until we beef up our corn ethanol production? At least Obama wants to cut c02 pollution by 80%; he is definitely our best hope.
.
We the people call upon our leaders to implement a comprehensive antiglobal warming strategy at once and work in coordination with state and federal officials; these cyclones and storms continue to worsen and the quicker we stop the warming the sooner we will see these storms cease. We need action now.
