Myanmar is a joke. The U.N. has to suspend aid because "all of the food aid and equipment that we managed to get in has been confiscated," a U.N. World Food Program spokesman said. Why did the ruling government (junta) confiscate food from the WFP? Because they want to plaster "the boxes with the names of top generals in an apparent effort to turn the relief effort for last week's devastating cyclone into a propaganda exercise." lol



Yes. These gentlemen on your right seek fortune and fame.

How many people are hungry and homeless in Myanmar? About 1.5-2 million.
