Myanmar finally allows aid workers
The Myanmar government finally allows outside aid…what the hell took so long? It has been three weeks since the cyclone hit!
I understand that you are closed off and don’t want to allow outsiders in to your country, but come on…It took forever for this to happen. You must change some rules in times of crisis. At least you would think you need to bend some rules in times in crisis, apparently not Myanmar…
Because the government there was so slow at allowing aid workers into the country (and also keeping the best of what aid was delivered for themselves), many people needlessly died.
I pretty much have no respect for the Myanmar government. I have nothing against the people of Myanmar; they have done nothing wrong, they are suffering needlessly, and they need help that their government is delaying. Obviously, Myanmar has crappy, selfish leaders, but I just can’t believe the leaders were so terrible. Finally though, the govt is moving in the right direction and allowing aid workers into the country.
