U.N. Suspends Aid Supplies to Myanmar
-
A terrible storm hit Burma. At least 25,000 people are dead. Maybe far more.
-
The government of Burma has been clear that they will welcome aid supplies, but do not want foreign workers and journalists.
-
Now the U.N. appears to be stopping these aid supplies. The U.N. is taking the arrogant position, "My Way or the Highway."
-
Right after Katrina the U.S. did not openly welcome journalists and aid workers from foreign countries that we don't like - such as Libya, Cuba, and North Korea.
-
The government of Burma apparenty is even far worse than the George Bush II regime. Nonetheless we as nations that are more prosperous have a moral duty to help out. And if the Burmese want the aid, but not the aid workers or the foreign journalists, we don't have to like it, but we do have to go along with it. Holding the aid shipments hostage is absolutely immoral.
