My friends from Myanmar tell me how bad the situation is there. Desperate people with no food, no place to live and no where to go. Children literally dying, bodies are everywhere still floating in the water. Should the UN come in and take care of the people? http://picasaweb.google.com/cbthang/Nargis?authkey=kJZckA4Vzq0 WARNING: the pictures in this link are very explicit, if you cannot stand looking at dead bodies don't open it.

We should have just dropped the food where it was needed regardless of thier gov't. They didnt want people on the grnd so just drop the food where people were and fly away and get some more.

Yes i think they should. It is soooo dumb that the place is not letting all the other countries help them. Everyone needs help once and a while. It would prevent more people from dying if they let the U.N. and all the places get involve. I dont really understand why hey are so resistant.

They opened the country up to any one or any country that wants to help. By them waiting this long it cost many lives.

Key word here: "Should". The U.N. should have sent a peacekeeping force to Myanmar to allow delivery be distribuited and make sure the Junta sh*theads don't interfere. Too little, too late now. The Junta simply let the cyclone do the dirty job for them.

Can't count on the UN for anything...unless it's voting on something that will affect the US adversely. I count on the Red Cross more than the UN. BTW, how come the US is not getting any positive publicity? They could've turned their fleet of ships and planes around once they were rebuffed. But they're still sitting, waiting to be utilized. Where's the uproar for the US trying to help another countries citizens live under a brutal regime? Wasn't there a little over Iraq?

Have you been reading the news. Their goverment is blocking aid and being selective. And whatever aid is allowed in, the goverment takes it for them and it's troops.
