Myanmar - The Day After Tomorrow

I'm feeling very sad... very sad for the Myanmar people.. they are innocent and suffering at the fate of natural disaster. One moment they were asleep and the next morning the whole place was in chaos. Imgine you have to fight for your live by holding to tree trunks, some were hit by flying debris and some we being blown away... and the next thing they know was, no water, no power supply, no fuel, no food and worst of all, lost their beloved family members....
So much to grief... estimate 80,000 dead...

But that is not all... when many countries start to moving to give a helping hands... they had a hard time getting their Visa. The military Junta is reluctant to let foreigners to come in and help.. Only 4 disaster experts got permission to enter Myanmar. what can 4 persons do? all the reliefs helpers and red cross were put on hold, waitign for their visa....

The Military Junta should treat this as a crisis and will get worst if they did not act fast. This is not about politic.. They should put politics aside and put their poor fellow citizens in first priority...

I strongly agreed with Condoleezza Rice. She said "It should be a simple matter. It's not a matter of politics. It's a matter of a humanitarian crisis."
