Article in MSM about cyclone said...

I was reading in an article on MSN.com about the Myanmar cyclone. It said...

"The U.S. military has put people and airplanes into position to work on any relief effort, as officials awaited word on whether the Asian nation would accept American help.

Villarosa did not sound optimistic.

"It's a very paranoid regime," she said. "They are very paranoid about the United States."

Experts say Myanmar's ruling military must overcome their distrust of the outside world and open up to a full-scale international relief operation. Horsey said the government "recognizes this is an unprecedented emergency" that needed international involvement.

France suggested invoking a U.N. "responsibility to protect" clause without waiting for military approval to deliver aid. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told reporters on Wednesday the idea was being discussed at the United Nations.

The United Nations recognized that concept in 2005 to protect civilians, even if intervention violates national sovereignty."

Hhhmmmm... seems people in Myanmar are more "awake" to the U.S.'s imperialism and the U.N.'s idea of ignoring national soveriegnty than American's are.
