MYANMAR CYCLONE DISASTER U.S. AID WELCOMED?
I was on my way to get a new clutch wheelin my way to Phil's Auto when I caught this conversation about U.S. aid and leverage in Myanmar after the disaster there recently. This conversation makes me think of Katrina and the government's inabilitiy to help our own people. Now, there are issues with the government offering financial assistance TO POSSIBLE CHINESE OR OTHER REBELS who are enemies of policy. The poor people who just need to be helped will be dealing with red tape before they get food, bandages, clothing, medicine, and real help. Sad.
Have some Compassion before politics.
