Re: 10,000 dead in Burma.
I agree with Empathy in that something needs to be done about this... however, I regret to say that it shouldn't be America's responsibility. For one thing, we're half way across the world. Who does the world think we are, the popular kid in school? Whenever something happens to a country that we barely keep in memory, does the whole world turn their eyes on us expecting, even demanding, a reaction? We are in no situation to turn over money to another country. If individual citizens feel sympathetic, then an organization like the Tsunami Relief group will appear in order to give these people financial aid for repairs. And even in our financial crisis, Bush is still offering them financial aid(because he's a fecking genious). The Myanmarese government does not want to accept it, because as Empathy said, they don't give a fuck, and they like to keep their problems private.
