See there are hesitations and machinations on both sides. Burmese junta is hesitant because it feels afraid of humanitarian issues being revealed, thus saying no to foreign aid and aid workers. whereas, world powers want to exploit disaster best against the military Junta. But by doing so the people are sans aid and necessary commodities to survive and all these maneuvering and counter arguments will do nothing but adding to the woe of Burmese. there is no need to breach Burma air as such. As Burma has accepted aid from friendly nations, the world powers have already got another route for its aid to the affected people. So please stop playing politics and look for some options to help Burmese revive from this disaster.

If you want to donate, please pass your hard-earned money to the right people at the right place. the aid [air drops] or the money will only go to Junta.

Thanks on behalf of people in Burma for your great help.

Burma govt has accepted the aid from the foreign nations. only they’ve rejected the foreign workers. just give them the aid and that’s all. they will deal with it on their on level... world should respect Burmese Government’s right to reject offers of aid or the way they want it becz now the prime concern is to help ppl and it should be done without any delay.

what i think is there are three options before the world powers who are willing to help. Give financial help only, use military forces to deliver aid and to deal with the confrontations, if any and lastly do nothing. if wanna use military there is no need to consider Burma govt. no. I know they won’t opt for the second option. third one will be the most favorable. so stop making noise for nothing or else do something - this way or that way.

I don’t think using force would solve the matter. On the contrary the UN must be careful about what it does in Burma. Any wrong step would put the country more into trouble, especially those affected by the cyclone. This is already a grim situation. Let’s not make it grimmer. Think for the victims once.

UN intervntion may lead to more conflicts and if that happens the situation would further worsen. The need of the hour is that UN innovate some new ways to help the victims of nature’s fury.
