Sri Lanka It's Happening

May 14, 2008

The death toll in Myanmar's devastating cyclone Nargis might be as high as 100,000 the government of Sri Lanka has decided each of those lives are worth USD 1.00

In Sri Lanka life is cheap. Government backed terrors groups are able to get away with mass murder and child recruitment, each month a handfull of suspects die in police custody and doctors go on strike killing many patients.

Myanmar is ruled by a Military junta and things there are probably similiar. It's no suprise that our president has become firm friends with their rulers and rulers in other dictatorships like Iran. So there were no suprised when Myanmar promised to supply 100,000 tons of rice to Sri Lanka, rice that it can ill afford to spare.

Our ministers are more concerned about getting their hands on that shipment of rice than the fate of the cyclone victims.
