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
WTF???
Well, I can't imagine invading a country that is relatively STABLE *coughIraq* 'just because'!!!!!!

Nothing to gain from it. Just a lot of poor people, and now, rubble. Not a very sound investment. Not to mention we don't have the resources for another invasion and occupation.

I think the UN should get right on it.

Besides, America's foreign image could really use another [strike]imperial war[/strike] action for freedom.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Meh, Imperial conquest has its uses, when you can pull it off (which, as Iraq has clearly shown, Bush can't). But it's usually not very good PR, unless it's so low profile that it just flies under the global radar.
But really, that's moot. Normally, as an Imperialist, I would say "go for it!", but we just can't at the moment. Bush has decided to commit the majority of our frontline units, as well as a huge chunk of our reserves, to deposing a government we should have helped, and occupying a country just waiting to explode into civil war. Not the best time for opening up yet another front in the Third World War.
