Myanmar Needs Relief
A cyclone left at least 22,000 dead in Myanmar and the death toll could still climb. More than a million people are now homeless after this natural disaster, and 40,000 are still missing.
But the repressive military junta that has ruled since 1962 is limiting who it accepts aid from to "friendly" countries. President Bush offered help from the U.S. Navy but so far Myanmar isn't accepting.
This is a human tragedy and politics should be set aside. Myanmar may not want help from the U.S. government, but as Americans we can help.
