Invading a country to feed their people

A UN humanitarian envoy is due in Burma to try to persuade the ruling junta to grant more access to UN workers to help with the cyclone relief efforts.
John Holmes will carry a letter from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to Burma's leader, Than Shwe, who has refused to answer Mr Ban's calls.
Burma says some 78,000 people have died and 56,000 are missing since Cyclone Nargis hit the country on 2 May.
Burma has so far been refusing most offers of international aid.

What type of country would turn down aid to help its people? Even America, after Katrina, let international aid in. When does a ruling party go too far?



When they decide to let people die, instead of allowing others to come into to the rescue. China even has requested international aid, the first time since 1949. Do we really have to go into the country with tanks, to feed the people. I guess the world government has to insist on guns and butter for this country. Since their government rather let the governed die, there's no reason to negotiate. How many phone calls does the President of Burma get anyway?
