So. Millions of people are either dead,missing or displaced with absolutely no place to go. No food,medical supplies or clean water. Yet the US military have ships,planes and helicopters loaded with all kinds of relief including food,medical supplies and water purification tablets(enough for 200,000 people for a week.) Yet Myanmars' paranoid military junta is unwilling to accept any of it, even as people lay dying of stavation in the streets. Now the junta are saying that they want only cash. Humm....  We have now promised a wopping $3,000,000.00 in CASH to them. Even France has said they do not trust how that money would be used. I'm sorry, let them handle this disaster on their own then! We have issues in our own country that need to be addressed. People in our own country that would graciously accept aid. We should not have to BEG some other country to accept our help. They hate us anyway. I'm completely against just handing over Three Million dollers in cold hard cash.This country is in trillions of dollers of debt anyway. Mother nature can be cruel at times but we have absolutely no business over there. Especialy begging!!!!!!!! Obviously we need to mind our own business.
