Frustration Grows with Burmese Authorities

In the wake of a massive cyclone, at least 22,000 Burmese are dead. More than 40,000 are missing. A million are homeless.

But what's happening in Burma is not just a natural disaster--it's also a catastrophe of bad leadership. - Burma's brutal military junta failed to warn the people, failed to evacuate low-lying areas, and suppressed communication so that the Burmese people didn't know the storm was coming. Now the government is failing to respond to the disaster and even obstructing international aid organisations. Read more about the UN's frustrations with the Burmese Leadership here
