I think its just a tropical storm, but the 100mm of rain is not going to help. Four inches may not seem like much but they are already inundated....
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.

"No time to lose" for cyclone-hit Myanmar
| Quote From Source: | YANGON (Reuters) - There was "no time to lose" to help Myanmar's cyclone survivors after the secretive military government promised it would allow in more aid workers, disaster relief officials said on Saturday.
The junta, criticised for stalling a full-blown aid effort for 2.4 million people left destitute by Cyclone Nargis three weeks ago, went ahead on Saturday with a referendum on an army-drafted constitution in cyclone-devastated areas.
Turnout was low in the rice-growing Irrawaddy delta and areas in and around the former capital, Yangon, hit hard by the storm which left 134,000 people dead or missing.

Conditions Ripe for Disease in Myanmar Delta
| Quote From Source: | Myint Hlaing's family bathes and draws cooking water from an irrigation ditch fouled by human waste and a rotting cow carcass. His 10-year-old daughter suffers from diarrhea, despite drinking bottled water donated by aid groups.
They are among hundreds of cyclone survivors in this town forced to endure daily rains beneath tattered thatch huts and use whatever water they can find — a recipe for disease in Myanmar's low-lying delta as the monsoon season nears.
"Shelter is the most important thing we need," Myint Hlaing said. "There are more and more mosquitoes here. We are afraid of getting dengue fever."

Women asked to send panties to Burmese embassy
| Quote From Source: | Canadian human rights groups are calling on women to take part in a unique protest against Burma's military junta.
The Quebec Women's Federation and the activist group Rights and Democracy are coordinating the Canadian edition of "Panties for Peace!" -- an international campaign to pressure the Burmese government towards democratic reforms.
Organizers say the idea began after the Burmese government cracked down on pro-democracy activists. Last fall, pro-reform demonstrations led by monks garnered international attention after the military attacked protesters and arrested their leaders.

Welcome to South east Asia politics, when warning was given the military with drew equipment and supplies, it didn't want to loose to higher ground.
Is now collecting the aid supplies IT needs to survive the disease and famine that will result. When the problems decrease in the fall, they will go back and regain control of the area, apportion out the crop land to those left and set them back to work.
Consolidating their position with out firing a shot, Military brilliance from their viewpoint.
This attitude underlies the thinking in the whole area, as far as invading them, been there and done that in Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia.........(It's like going out in your yard and picking a side to help in the war between the red and black ants under your patio deck.) |

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your post. I for 1 agree with you. Those people are nothing more than cattle to the Junta.

I have a cousin in law from Indonesia, (niece's husband) who has discussed at length, the lack of concern for the general population by the governments in that area of the world. The caste system is not over, and once dead, bodies of the general public are just another disposal problem.
It was his impression that the more advance warning you would give the government, the more they would move the people around to cause the greatest harm to the factions that did not support the current Junta.
I will try to limit my comments to things i feel I have real knowledge on. |
