While Al Gore is out there talking up how driving our SUV's are killing the planet and
causing devastating cyclones to ravage unsuspecting countries, the
real tragedy is happening right before our eyes.
Myanmar's military regime distributed international aid Saturday but plastered the boxes with the names of top generals in an apparent effort to turn the relief effort for last week's devastating cyclone into a propaganda exercise.
"We have already seen regional commanders putting their names on the side of aid shipments from Asia, saying this was a gift from them and then distributing it in their region," said Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, which campaigns for human rights and democracy in the country.
"It is not going to areas where it is most in need," he said in London.
If there was ever was a time to get involved with regime change, I would say this is it.
What does this say about Al Gore? Does he not see the real evil that is happening? Does he not see that the stagering amount of people who died is because of the leadership of that country, not the cyclone itself? And now the Junta leadership is taking advantage of the help that is arriving! It is sickening to watch! And shame on Al Gore for not speaking out against the real issue.
