    Is It Time to Invade Burma?

    Check out what CNN/TIME is saying we could and maybe should do to help with this tragedy. Ironic in that the female Dem. Governor of Louisiana wouldn't let our own troops into New Orleans for days after Katrina. She just sat back and cried on TV.

    Re: Is It Time to Invade Burma?

    So theyre saying we should invade because the government is rejecting relief from other countries.... Hmm... isnt that what W did? Should Canada and Italy have invaded New Orleans to offer us aid?

    Re: Is It Time to Invade Burma?

    China should be the one to step in and render aide but they have their own troubles with earthquakes. For all those people suffering and starving in Burma I think Britain and US should go in and deliver aide. Make it clear to the ruling government we are only there to put up shelters, provide food, and setup purified water to help out. If they get in the way they visit with Special Forces and Marines. The government is corrupt and cares nothing for their people. After water recedes and peple are back to rebuilding then leave.

    GW kind of ticked me off because I read where he was sending his condolences to those suffering but did not see anything about loading up planes and air dropping food to those that need it. I saw we did have one plane land but the government did not want anything being delivered by US that they would truck it in themselves to take the credit. Yea, and I am sure they are taking it to the capital and not to those in the field hurting. What a big mess. This could turn into a big flop for GW if he does not get with the program and pitch in.

    I will happily go on record that I don't think our government should do a thing about this, either as an independent country or as part of the UN. If Angelina Jolie, Keanu Reeves, and/or my mother want to start a food drive to aid those that were affected, then I certainly would applaud their efforts. But foreign aid is NOT the responsibility of our government.

    You sure are the humanatarian. I donate to the Red Cross and sure they are helping over in Burma but this is beyond the scope that you or I could ever imagine. A disaster of this propoertion should involve the richest nations helping one of the poorest. Understand my take has nothing to do with the inept and corrupt government but helping people who have no one else to turn to. As long as we are a Super Power it is our responsibility to help those in need. That is my opinion anyway.

If we blow off Burma then it just looks like we show up when it is time to drop bombs and nation building. GW could help his image and that of the US by delivering aid to those in dire need in Burma. I am very curious to get your take on this. Please explaiin.

    Remember I started this thread. We will not blow Burma off as we are trying to get the thug government to let us into the country. And none of us want to see our troops shot at delivery food and supplies to these poor folks. But your comment about possibly blaming Bush ("This could turn into a big flop for GW if he does not get with the program and pitch in") was a tad absurd IMHO. Bush has flooped in many ways but this will not be one of them.

    Not me. I'll never ever give another flippin' penny to the Red Flippin' Cross; not even if I find it on the floor of a local C-store. They NEVER share info or cooperate with any other relief agency (I know this first hand); they drive around in their brand new fancy vehicles and ALWAYS collect more than they spend.

    Talk about a bureaucracy ??

    We are in 100% agreement for once. The naysayers can't blame W for this one!
