Are any children or relatives of the junta living outside of Burma? What about the Burmese ambassadors who come from the military instead of the civil staff? Perhaps we can eliminate them to avenge the hundreds of thousands that the junta condemned to die.

Ok I am to the point were I say fuck the Myammar Gov. if they dont want our help then dont try to give them any. It is stupid big bad USA gets a bad rap all the time. We try to help but nobody wants it. So FUCK THEM!

I understand what you're saying about Khmer Rouge, but at this point, the situation in Burma is threatening a million to two million people. And don't forget that the Burmese military has already killed and displaced well over a million Karen people and subjected them to systematic torture, rape, forced labor, and dehumanization. Yes, Khmer Rouge was horrible, and may have killed more people. But the situation in Burma is still a massive, massive world tragedy. (and far worse than iraq)

British aid group Oxfam said Sunday that the death toll could multiply by up to 15 times, or rise to 1.5 million, if people do not get clean water and sanitation soon, which could result in a medical catastrophe.

We really need to rid the world of these dictators (Burma, China, Zimbabwe, Sudan) - once and for all.

totally not trying to nitpick here but there's no such thing as a drop in the ocean when it comes to the death of a loved one..i think sometimes we all get so overwhelmed by numbers of death that we get thrown at everyday that we have come to a point where go "oh..22000..that's not so bad as other cases"..but the thing is even if the death toll was 10 people..that's still 10 people!..anyways..just trying to put my two cents in..and i'm awfully sorry for your loss.
