***have called on the U.S. to unilaterally begin air drops to the Burmese people regardless of what the junta says.***
If they don't want our aid then why force it on them? Let the europeans get the aid thru since america is so evil and nobody really needs our help anyway..

Oh woes you.
You went into Afghanistan supposedly because of Bin Laden. If you even remotely think the US ever would have went into Afghanistan to help the people out, you're kidding yourself.

You went into Iraq to get Saddam who had no ties to Al-Queda, Bin Laden, or any other terrorists who were guilty for 911.
It wasn't to liberate the people. All you've done there is cause a civil war and the deaths of many innocent people.
Good Job!

Never mind that assholes like Carl Levin are getting into pissing matches over Iraq's oil. The Iraqi Ambassador's argument against 'paying back' the US, is that the US was never asked to come 'liberate' the country. You guys are just trying to steal their shit because you over-reached and now you're broke.

And now here's an opportunity to do something actually beneficial in the name of humanitarianism, that might actually benefit people who are actually fucked, so what do you do?
You cry about your own selfish worries.

Again, really good job.

"Is It Time to Invade Burma?"

Perhaps this sort of question should have been raised a few years ago -- with New Orleans in mind.

"And now here's an opportunity to do something actually beneficial in the name of humanitarianism, that might actually benefit people who are actually fucked, so what do you do?"

Look Bucko!!!, it would be a waste of time without burma's government approvel, the aid won't get to the people that really need it. If the Burmese military tried anything and our boys return fire. The shit is going to hit the fan.. You can't force aid on anybody...It's best for now to hang back and work with the U.N and the Burmise government.. Why don't you blame the real guys at fault for this mess..The burmise government..They won't let aid thru to help their own people...Even when we follow internation laws and stay out of folks airspace with out permission. You guys still bitch!!!

Cadpig just give it up.
It's only acceptable for America to act and flex it's military might and have our soldiers die fighting where ever Europe points it's finger like a trained attack dog.

I say let them do something this time without us and we'll see how well they fair without the might of the American Military.

America is the modern day Sparta.. nobody wants us around unless there's someone's throat to cut, then they go running behind us pointing 'sic em!'

I'm at the point now that i agree with the rest of the world on one point. America needs to pull out of the middle east all together, and become isolationist. We have the power and the resources to be all but autonomous. Let the world fend for itself.
