Question

Shouldnt there be a way to prosecute the Myanmar govt for lack of action/warning people? Its like a War Crime!

Answer 1

I'm surprised that people are not already blaming President Bush.

Answer 2

And just how would you propose they do that warning?  Do you not realize what "third world" means?

Maybe they could mobilize 100,000 people to run thru the streets with bullhorns.  

Would you want your country prosecuted for "weather crimes"?

What a concept!

Answer 3

what could they have done? God the people in new orleans had like a week to leave and yet thousands didnt. its a sad situation, but i dont know how much they could have done. and its definately not a war crime.

Answer 4

Absolutely Not!

Not by us in the old US anyway.  Rembember, we live in Bush world where we don't participate in international law for fear that W and d**k will go down for war crimes.

Also, remember Katrina, where Bush and d**k claimed ignorance of the broken levees while our own people died on rooftops?  Leaders who knew less than any cable tv viewer?

Leaders who  waited and withheld help to the point that  Shawn Penn beat FEMA to New Orleans, towing his personal Boston Whaler? , and then ridiculed him for staging a publicity stunt.

The same leaders who put Rove, Limbaugh and the spin team to work at once to try to blame Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin for FEMA's failure?

The same leaders who prosecuted the police chief of Hattisburg Miss. for distributing ice from a FEMA truck without Federal permission while people begged for water.  The rest of the ice sat  in rented trucks for over a year, were moved to three different states at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars and then the ice was thrown away?

You see, people like this are already guilty of crimes against humanity, crimes against their own people and would not and could not speak out against the Myanmar government.

Answer 5

call JOHN RAMBO....

Answer 6

Frankly, I am glad we are finally feeling the effects of over-population. We could use a few wars/natural disasters/food shortages to really thin out our overcrowded cities. AWESOME!

Answer 7

What in the world gives you or anyone else the right to expect the government to rescue people who are too stupid to think for themselves ??   If a storm is coming then take precautions or drown like the idiots they are,

Answer 8

It is definetly an evil regime who cares very little about their people.   They have been bruttlay oppressing large protions of the population for years.  Maybe now the world will start to understand what is going on.  You can prosecute them in court but what good would it do?

Answer 9

Why blame the government of Myanmar?  Clearly the blame rests with George W. Bush, just like everything else.
