I'm sure that everyone's read about Burma (Myanmar).

Here's an article, just in case you've been in the dark.

* 100,000+ dead
* 1.5Million+ homeless
* No power
* No clean drinking water
* No food

So..you'd figure that Burma would be begging for help. Nope... they're refusing help. They're refusing any outside help except for food/medical supplies which the Warlord running the country promptly grabs up (supposedly to feed the troops and his regime). The referendum for the new constitution is coming fast, with no sign of delay despite the disaster.

Some are calling on a military (UN) solution - if overthrowing a military regime in another country could be called a solution to anything.

So...what's to be done?
