60,000 dead, over 100,000 still missing. That's only part of the story concerning Myanmar in the aftermath of the cyclone disaster that befell the nation formerly known as Burma. Just months ago, President Bush began his address to the United Nations by stating that America was deeply concerned about that country's future, given that they were being ruled by a rogue government.
Now, that rogue government has cut-off outside aid to it's own people. The supplies sent to help the people? Confiscated by the government. The volunteers sent to aid the people? Not allowed to enter by the government.
Look, people are wounded, starving, dying of thirst. They've lost their homes, possessions, loved-ones. Just how concerned are we, and what can we really do to help?
What say you?

I wish I knew what to do. If the government won't let people in our hands are tied. How very very sad!
You just have to wonder what the hell the Myanmar government is thinking.
