Our View: Junta playing politics with people's lives

Abstract:
During the time period immediately following a natural disaster, the last thing a government wants to do is play political hardball with potential aid-giving countries. Unless of course, said government is the military junta ruling Myanmar.
On Thursday, five days after a cyclone devastated the Irrawaddy delta with 120 mph winds and water surges more than fifteen feet high, the junta permitted the first shipment of foreign aid to enter the country, conspicuously refusing aid from the U....

Burma , is run by a bunch of little military thugs. They are getting rich on the backs of the people while they butcher.

Now I have heard all about how we should never use force and the world bodies will take care of atrocities.

So where are they. The UN is doing what it always does. Stand on the sideline and say BAD JUNTA.

Well that certainly has been effective. LOL!

We have seen Bush go to war and he has kept us safe since 9/11 and killed thousands of Terrorists that will never cut another human beings throat.

On the other hand we have let the UN and the world body handle Dafur , which has resulted in nothing except adding UN peace keeping troops to the mix of rapist and killers.

Iran has had the full diplomatic expertise of world bodies in the European Union and UN and they have not only done nothing to stop Iran's getting a nuke , but have been flipped the proverbial bird by Iran.

Now we add Burma to this pathetic Liberal pablum puking ineffective global bodies list of failures while humanity suffers.

We could have of course intervened with force but the Liberals would have none of that.


So I am curious , just how long do we wait and watch the Liberal world bodies do nothing while humanity is butchered in incredible numbers.

Remind me, when exactly did the conservatives propose that the US military should overturn the Myanmar government? Can you post some links to quotes from Bush or McCain advocating we invade Burma? And how is that these conservative leaders were so easliy deterred by the liberals?

I said we could have invaded Burma and brought this butchering Junta to it's knees. No one said we would or should except me.

Of course the politicians are afraid of the the Liberal mind set in this country now that says we don't even fight for America let alone another country.

Liberals are destroying the fabric of this country.

Whether it is to dilute the nuclear family , or try to take our Christian heritage out of the public square , Liberals have slowly caused a moral decay in this society.

Liberals want to gibe Americas sovereignty to a global body and let some third world country and others dictate our laws and enforcement.

It was Liberals that brought Achmadinehjad ( a thug and state sponsor of terror ) to America and gave him a legitimate platform to speak his hate. They assured us they would teach him a lesson and instead he played them like a violin.

Now this same Liberal University would never let another anti gay person speak on their campus. Iran kills gays and Ahmadinejad said he had no gays in Iran , and every one knew that is because once outed they are crucified.

So what are the chances that I ( not that I would ) get to go to Columbia University and advocate the killing of all gays as a solution to the problem of gay America. IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

So I guess the only way I could deliver that message at that Liberal University is to kill other Americans and butcher women and children.

Liberalism is killing this country and will eventually if not held in check destroy us in a quagmire of moral and ethical decay.

Really? I rather think they'd jump at the chance to have Pope Benedict XVI speak.

Hey Judy you let me know when they invite the Pope to speak about being anti gay. I won't hold my breath.

How many people do you think Columbia University would allow to talk that advocate the execution of gays. Certainly no American with those views would be allowed to speak.

But as long as it is a terrorists , it fits right into the new Liberal mind set of apologetic hatred of their own country. Any one except Americans can come and trash this country because in the Liberals eyes America is as bad a Nazi Germany.

But then as soon as a catastrophe hits everybody loves America until it is business as usual and then the Liberals trot out their apologize to the world routine and denigrate their own country at every opportunity.

It has gotten so bad that it seems now it is actually considered patriotic by the lunatic left to trash America. The worse the things you say about America are the bigger Patriot you are. It is like a contest to see who can trash the country the worst , and then that person is held up as a patriotic God by the left for having the courage to denigrate America.

What kind of sick twisted people think bad mouthing our country is a patriotic act.

This just shows you the sick mentality of the left.

These same people that trash America and say it is patriotic do not follow their own advice with their wives or Bosses. After all if they are willing to denigrate their country to help it get better , than how much more should they care about their wives and bosses. So let's see Liberals just rip their wives apart and their bosses. Then they can bemoan their lot when they sit their unemployed and picking pieces of the rolling pin their wife broke off in their heads.


Perhaps you can tell me Judy why when you get a far left nut Job like Acmadinejad and others , they are listened to respectively by the crowd for the most part.

Yet when the Minutemen are invited on campus by a conservative student group they are physically attacked by the students from the left.

I watched Marine recruiters being assaulted by students just for sitting their at a table and talking to students about the Marines.

Explain to me why it is the Tolerant , non violent Liberals on campus that continually get caught on tape being intolerant and violent.

You Tube exposes the fact the the most violent people on campuses today are young Liberals.

When is the last time you heard about young Republicans rushing the stage and punching out the Liberals that speak on Campus's.

So as I said you just let me know when they get the Pope to speak. They would rather invite a man that murders gays than one that just speaks against gays. Speaking against them isn't controversial enough for Liberals.

Who Is This Man With Obama?

posted 5/09/08 @ 8:21 AM MST

Instead of lamenting a natural disaster, it'd be nice if some aspiring editorial board explain the actions of Obama's military junta in Kenya.

Obama's only foreign policy experience (so far) was campaigning for his cousin Odinga (a convicted felon) in formerly stable Kenya. This while Odinga's Marxist revolutionary junta had Islamo-fascist political operatives busily raping and looting and burning black women and children alive in their church pews.

Obama's new ally (the Odinga junta) has now displaced hundreds of thousands of refugees, burned crops to the point where Kenyans are starving and thoroughly destabilized a pro-Western ally bordering Islamo-fascist Somalia. Odinga's junta has also promised his Islamists allies to institute brutal sharia law in Kenya.

How do progressives in wacademia explain and justify their support of Obama's hardline Marxist foreign policy allegiance with the Odinga junta?

I think we should overlook party and ideological boundaries here.

Regardless of a person's affiliation, I think we can all agree that the situation in Myanmar is despicable. What's more disgusting is the UN, created for the purpose of controlling situations like the one in Burma, seems incapable of doing anything. I've yet to hear an acceptable answer as to why.

We need answers from our government and the international community why they are allowing such atrocities to be committed right under our noses.
