Send a mirror to Laura Bush!

She really does not get it.
Not only is her map out of date, but she has apparently never heard of Katrina.
Here is the official quote from Laura;
As they cope with this tragedy, the men and women of Burma remain in the thoughts and prayers of many Americans. It's troubling that many of the Burmese people learned of this impending disaster only when foreign outlets -- such as Radio Free Asia and Voice of America -- sounded the alarm. Although they were aware of the threat, Burma's state-run media failed to issue a timely warning to citizens in the storm's path.
The response to the cyclone is just the most recent example of the junta's failure to meet its people's basic needs. The regime has dismantled systems of agriculture, education and health care. This once wealthy nation now has the lowest per capita GDP in Southeast Asia.
Despite the havoc created by this weekend cyclone, as far as we can tell Burma's military leaders plan to move forward with the constitutional referendum scheduled for this Saturday, May 10th. They've orchestrated this vote to give false legitimacy to their continued rule. The proposed constitution was drafted in a flawed process that excluded opposition and some key ethnic groups. It would effectively give the military a veto over any constitutional changes. The constitution would prohibit democracy activists who are current or former political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi, from taking office. To ensure their constitution becomes law, the regime has been intimidating voters and using force against dissidents. Public gatherings have been banned and printed materials may not be distributed without governmental approval.
As the date of the referendum draws near, there's been an increase in arrests of opposition party members and activists. This continues to take place, despite a call from the international community, and most recently from the United Nations Security Council, for Burma's government to ensure its referendum is free, fair and inclusive.

Send a mirror to Laura Bush! She really does not get it.
OTOH, every reasonable person gets that you're a lair. No comparison between people in NO who had days of warning that a storm might come their way and the people in Burma who didn't know at all.

DUmmies should volunteer to become human shields against the next major hurricane.
What do you mean they're not that stupid? They jump in front of bulldozers don't they?........stand in front of buildings in war zones to protect against bombs.

Boy, the DUchebags sure are clever.

How many of their "protests" have actually accomplished anything? Oh yeah, none.

Well I hope they don't look in them before they send them off. The damn things will crack and they'll have 7 more years bad luck.

And that is why no one at DU has a clue as to what the truth is.

I would imagine the victims in Burma would kill to have 1/10 of what the Katrina evacuees had.
Somehow I doubt there'll be any air conditioned trailers, debit cards or local charities raising millions of dollars for them.
However, if their government allows it, you can be sure the U.S. will be volunteering a lot of financial and manpower assistance to the Burmese, even though "the whole world hates us" and all. :whatever:
