That could make for some worse disasters than poor souls in Burma dying of water diseases. Still, if we don't do something, people are sure to die when they wouldn't have to. Yet they didn't win last year when they rose up against the government, and that was obviously their chance.

Ya see, this is why the bunker works so tirelessly towards benevolent world domination through so very many sleepless nights and statutory holidays while others are sleeping or BBQ’ing and drinking beer - we have the answers.

Speaking of …….. - you got the summer trailer open yet? :-)

I think yer right, SL. In Burma, we have a military obstacle to humanitarian relief. That military obstacle threatens to unleash a wave of post-catastrophe complications that will kill far more people than the direct effects of the cyclone. Some are saying the final death count after starvation, cholera and other illnesses take their toll could reach 1.5 million. When the lives of this many people are put at risk by a power-obsessed military, a military response is probably the only way to prevent mass annihilation.
