A devastating cyclone . . .
. . I’ve just been informed that the weather we had over the weekend was part of the same system of the cyclone, Nargis, that hit Myanmar (Burma) killing over 10,000 (as currently reported).
My heart bleeds for this country.
It is highly impoverished, for decades it has been under a brutal military regime, it suffered in the Asian tsunami and the death-toll has still not been accurately revealed, last year the military cracked down heavily on peaceful protesters and monks, and now this!
“And we shall overcome . . .” Lyndon B Johnson, to Congress, 1965. Let’s hope the Burmese people will, too.
