i guess we *could* get involved. but then we are already spread pretty damn thin with iraqistan. we don't have enough people to send to do anything but watch what happens, and troop deployment costs money that people don't want to spend. also, i would expect everyone to see this as a "bush invades another country" type of story and spin it as such...

what about the pathetically mismanaged and impotent U.N.? isn't this a job for them? they were useless in somalia, perhaps they can go be useless helping out the burmese? (i don't want to threadjack, i hate the u.n., but isn't this thier baliwick?)
