Yes please, to be able to reach the real Nagis victim directly and correctly, the only way is to Invade Burma on Humanitarian Ground and treat the victims professionally.

Wondering what could pass for ‘Humanitarian’ ?
We know in the past the big question was ‘Is there any oil’
Can only imagine it still holds true…
Yes of course something should have already been done, but the rhetoric and the elections sadly won the day….and the lack of oil

Myanmars in the Cyclone -affected delta and Yangon will definitely welcome any outside rescue missions. They will also plead the foreign forces to stay on longer until the lower Burma is liberated according to the wish of the local people to catch up with the rest of developing countries in Asia, like Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and China. An air-craft carrier should be directed to Burma now.
Rescue us from devastating effects of natural disasters as well as from greedy un-elected rulers.

I think we have enough Wars going on in the World at the moment and an invasion
for whatever reason would be seen as interference by a lot of Countries.
Let there be many Aircraft drops of emergency supplies until the Burmese Junta
see sense. This is a terrible tragedy and as usual, the innocent suffer.
