1 Million dead in Burma?

The government of Burma is absolutely willing to be responsible for possibly killing hundreds of thousands of its own citizens. These people have been devestated and their government absolutely refuses outside aid. It is only a matter of time before disease and starvation set in. This is a perfect civics lesson for some of you younger guys who don't really know how truely evil some of these bad guys in the world are! Here it is on display for the whole world to see. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3911696.ece This second link is a CIA link and explains more thoroughly about their system of government. In a nutshell it is run by the military with "The Generals" in charge. It is exactly the same as communisim but different. Slightly different styles but with equal disregard for human life. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/bm.html#Govt

It would take some time to hit a million dead... but with water, corpses, insects, and filth in great supply, and a lack of clean water and medicine in short supply, it could get really, really bad. They don't even have what they need to burn the bodies. However, if this DID happen, disease wouldn't spread outside Burma... it doesn't work like that. You need to be in contact or near someone before you can catch this. It isn't like the movie "Outbreak" ;) See, this is the sort of thing that our military I think COULD be used for. The only problem is it would have to be done SOOOO carefully... we couldn't just "go to war." And a surgical operation of that scale might be beyond any military... it is a goddamn shame tho. The vast majority of those people are damn innocents, caught in politics and massive natural disaster. Mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, people whose love of their family and care for their friends and desire to live is just as strong as ours... people who are just as real as we are. Right now, as I type this, as you READ this, hundreds of thousands are suffering and dying, and it is almost beyond my ability to understand.

That's actually a pretty strong way of wording it. That's crazy, I could not imagine wanting to save myself from all that ** and being completely unable to do so...... sick **s

I hear things like this, and just imagine myself and my wife in a situation like that, having been born and lived there and obviously not having the experience I've had now... and just being stuck. And I cannot imagine looking at her and knowing that there was little I could do. I do not know how someone with kids could handle it.

I've thought about what it would be like to be seperated from my gf by a large distance, and a world war start with an attack on america,, how scared ****less I would be.. not that i've dwelled on something like that.. lol..im not one of 'those' people

When the Fu(k is some other country gonna do the right thing. Why does it always have to be the good old USA coming to everyone's rescue only to be hated for it and poorer as a country.

Lord Ashram -> RE: 1 Million dead in Burma? (5/11/2008 7:22:34 PM)
I dwell on it CONSTANTLY. We lived in NYC for years, including during 9/11, and post 9/11 when I worked in NJ while she worked in the city... every single day when I kissed her goodbye I thought about it. We had all sorts of emergency escape plans put together. Really terrible. A shame no one else will do anything, but even if they don't, maybe we should? I just wish our country was in a better position and in better shape and more ready and able to do something, you know?

This would be a mission tailor made for the U.N. were they not so corrupt, inept and malfeasant. It is not the job of the U.S. Military to invade a country to force its leaders to accept aid. We have little to no vested national interest in Burma. For you America bashers, and you know who you are, I ask you to look objectively at this situation. Here we are 'stretched too thin' and we are still standing by outside of some 3rd world ****hole run by despots eager to render aid on a scale that should embarass the rest of the civilized world. But we can only do what we can do. Americans are exceptional. America is the cure.

Sap -> RE: 1 Million dead in Burma? (5/11/2008 7:45:36 PM)
Lets back up a minute here. Accepting foreign aid is something that each country can decide on their own, accepting it in bad times means you have to be in bed in good times too. If you look at how foreign aid works you'll see countries like Lebanon, which is constantly at war due to the influence of the west. While I believe humanitarian aid should trump all, the fact that we add so many strings to it is really the problem.... E.

Bullschitt.

The government has brainwashed their citizens and fears they will be exposed to people of different nations helping them in ways their governmnet hasnt. It's sick. I believe they will only take resources from the UN if they are allowed to distribute it but obviously that is against the UNs 'rules'.

fastbackford351 -> RE: 1 Million dead in Burma? (5/11/2008 8:16:23 PM)
That is against UN 'rules' for a reason. But even at that, the UN 'rules' were made to be broken. How many times has UN aide wound up on the black markets around the world? Let me answer that for you. The answer is 'a lot'. The government simply does not want to lose face.
