  1. Most of the blame can be placed on the Myanmar military junta that was (and is) trying to establish itself as the permanent ruler of Burma.  They even changed the name to Myanmar based on astrologers' advice to ditch the English name of Burma.  The storm hit before the elections were complete and the corrupt regime was more worried about the election outcome than the cyclone disaster, even refusing relief from enemy countries like the USA.  Over 100,000 are expected to die from the storm and it's aftermath and leave millions homeless.

    Some of these sites have up to 100 articles and some only one.
