This is how it looks in Myanmar.
I can only hope the Junta will open the borders and let the relief gang in!

--------------------------------------------
As of May 14:
International agencies have warned that the number of casualties -- already estimated at up to 100,000 dead -- could rise significantly from disease and lack of food and medicines if relief does not reach the affected areas urgently.

Myanmar junta failed to warn people on cyclone
"WASHINGTON (AFP) — US First Lady Laura Bush accused Myanmar's military rulers of failing to warn their citizens in time about a killer cyclone and pressed the junta to accept US aid in the disaster's wake.

"Although they were aware of the threat, Burma's state-run media failed to issue a timely warning to citizens in the storm's path," Bush said Monday in an unusual appearance at the White House briefing room podium."
Burmese Cyclone Death Toll Rising

The recent cyclone in Burma once again proves liberalism is a mental disorder. The American news media has a love affair with despots, thugs, dictators, military juntas, and communist. Further proof of this lies in with the news media's insistences in referring to this Southeast Asian nation as Myanmar a name selected by they military junta, rather than the name of Burma which reflects the disposed democracy of that nation. The Dallas Morning News continued to honor the military junta of Burma by referring to that nation as Myanmar.

What is telling is in the May 6th, 2008 edition of The Dallas Morning News on page two, the newspaper explained the nation was named Myanmar by the military junta, while the State Department of the United States continues to refer to that nation as Burma. Thus the difference between the democracy and the military junta and The Dallas Morning News continued use of the name Myanmar to make the junta appear legitimate.
