It would be funny if it didn't kill people.

CNN has a story about the junta of Myanmar who, for reasons known only to them, are doing their best to kill more people after the cyclone devastation. First there is this:

Authorities in cyclone-ravaged Myanmar have seized United Nations aid intended for victims of the disaster, prompting the organization to halt future relief flights, a U.N. World Food Program official said.

Not even Michael Brown actively kept relief supplies from those in need. Moreover, the US is trying to help, though the junta is jumpy about letting us in. Perhaps if we wanted to roll a couple divisions in there would be something to worry about, but our military is practically reduced to touch and go's along with airdrops:

The United States is proposing that C-130s fly into the Myanmar carrying U.N. supplies. The planes would drop supplies off and then turn around and leave. But they would conduct as many flights as possible.

The United States is also proposing that Navy helicopters already in Thailand and on board U.N. Navy ships in the region fly supplies to remote areas. The helicopters would conduct low-level flights and air drop the supplies but not touch the ground.

Even if you allow that the military rulers have something to worry about from foreign influence, you would expect the Myanmar government to be puling out all the internal stops, working night and day to rectify the situation and increase the flow of aid. You would be wrong:

To complicate matters, Myanmar's embassy in Bangkok, Thailand -- where aid groups have been waiting for days for entry permission -- was closed on Friday for a holiday.

Complete and utter incompetence. And the good people of Myanmar are paying for it.
