Just Another Brick in the Wall

We're all aware that more than 130,000 people died in the May 2 cyclone in Myanmar and that an estimated 2.5 Million people are homeless and starving while hundreds of tons of food and supplies wait offshore for the Junta to allow the aid to be delivered.

It has been reported in the Myanmar state-controlled media that U.S. warships which are capable of delivering massive amounts of relief very quickly will not be allowed into the country because of "fears of a U.S. invasion aimed at grabbing the country's oil reserves." (source)

This has been the resounding cry of the democrats about the war in Iraq and it has now infiltrated the dominant political thinking of the Junta to the inevitable death of tens of thousands - if not millions - of survivors of the cyclone. These selfish and dishonest accusations by the liberals and Bush-haters has done more to damage the reputation of this country than 'the madman in the oval office'. I'm reminded of the 1996 Presidential Campaign where we heard over and over again that "Words have meaning". As it turns out, they also have a price. This time it's paid with innocent blood. The disaster after the disaster rests squarely on the shoulders of Democrats.
