Where's team America now???

[FreshNugz]

With the recent disaster in Burma, the world has seen a terrible regime cast in the spotlight for refusing aid to its own citizens. I kind of wonder though, where is America??? The defender of human rights and liberty for people around the world(isn't that what they're saying about Iraq?)isn't busting down any doors and offering aid...Why not? It's obviously not a sovereignty/isolationist thing..since they never have a problem invading. Is it honestly due to "no interest there"? Because that is sad.
They, and other countries including Canada should be collaborating on a way to get in there and help these people. But lets face it, we need the US to help initiate things...they have the ability.
Anyone else..thoughts?

Well there are a number of issues I think you are overlooking.

We've offered help, and it's being accepted:

VOA News - U.S. Aid Reaches Burma
USAID Burma: Cyclone Nargis
washingtonpost.com - nation, world, technology and Washington area news and headlines
Burma Aid Is About Saving Lives, Not About Politics, Rice Says
Burma accepts more American aid - USATODAY.com

That was just from the first page of a simple google search containing "America burma aid".

Secondly, with a democrat senate and a conservative republican president.. chances of us just barging into a country to force them to take aid is going to be slim. ESPECIALLY with the upcoming elections.

Third, when we did just barge into Iraq it was done under the thought that Iraq was covertly creating nuclear arms and that they were helping to fund terrorist activity... this was also done in the aftermath of september 11th.

Given the situation today.. with the large disapproval rating, the huge debt, the contrasting democrat senate and conservative presidential office and the fact that they ARE acceptng aid... leaves no mystery as to why we are not just "Busting down doors" as you would say.

Very little aid is getting into Burma and what aid is getting into Burma its been confiscated by the Generals of that country.Most of the desitute in Burma or not getting aid so where is this aid going.The leaders of that country has shown the world it doesnt give a shit for its people.So if there is a country worth invading to topple a corrupt regime its Burma.

I'll be damned if I don't agree with ya! Now if Canada wants to invade I guess we could give ya all a bit of back-up on the matter.

Have a good one!:s4:
