Is It Time to Invade Burma?

May 11, 2008

I saw this a few  minutes ago and knew I had to post a link to this news.  Time CNN has an article that discusses the possibility of there being an invasion to help the Myanmar people in their current plight!

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that. Of course now the question is will it happen?

Here is the link to the article:

“That’s why it’s time to consider a more serious option: invading Burma. Some observers, including former USAID director Andrew Natsios, have called on the U.S. to unilaterally begin air drops to the Burmese people regardless of what the junta says. The Bush Administration has so far rejected the idea — “I can’t imagine us going in without the permission of the Myanmar government,” Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday — but it’s not without precedent: as Natsios pointed out to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. has facilitated the delivery of humanitarian aid without the host government’s consent in places like Bosnia and Sudan.”
