Burma

205 words.

I haven’t read any Virginia aggregators in a while (what my wife aptly calls “aggravators”), so I pulled one up this morning out of curiousity, and the very first post I saw annoyed me: The Warmongers on the Left: “Is it time to invade Burma?”

All I can say is that this is another outstanding example of the fact that The Right doesn’t really go to church very much.  (Yes, I’m making a gross generalization on purpose.)  That someone can sit back and watch so many people suffer — and condemn anyone that suggests helping - is rather telling.  Next I suppose we’ll be hearing how the Burmese “State Peace and Development Council” is doing the right thing by leaving all those people to die.  After all, they chose to live in the coastal areas, right?  Yeah, screw ’em, it’s their own fault anyway.

P.S.  I don’t think we should declare war on Burma — we’ve got our hands full with Iraq, thank you very much.  The last thing we need is to be changing any more regimes right now.  But why aren’t we sending squadrons of planes in there to drop supplies, with or without permission?  What are they going to do, attack us?
