22,000 dead - 41,000 Missing in Burma
I feel very sad for the people of Burma.
My Father was killed there in 1944.
I had a Burmese girlfriend in my early twenties who was the most gentle and considerate girl I think I ever met (My wife knows and understands)
I sincerely hope the the Government of Burma allow Aid Agencies to enter the country to sort this mess out.

Im sure Ive heard somewhere today that all the trouble there has been there has been a considerable amount of police/military on the streets,
But for the disater only a thousand have been allowed to help..
will check but if thats the case its wrong imo!!

This puts the ruling military in a bind .... not that I'm sympathetic with them .... I think that there is some sort of referendum coming up on a new constitution ... they have to act in this disaster, even if they don't want to break down and allow outsided help. They are really caught between a rock and a hard place. I hope for once that they act for the benefit of the people.

I feel sorry for the ordinary people in Burma, they are very oppressed and have been for years. It is only when things like this happen that you realise just how luck we are in this country, we certainly don't have to worry about weather like this over here, thank heavens

Well, what can we expect from someone who considers TV "valuable."

I cannot comprehend the size of this natural disaster, so many wasted lives. hope as much aid gets through to the country as possible.

Every time I watch the News it seems the estimated death total goes up, the're now saying it could be over a 100,000, as I've said before we don't know we're born in this country, weather wise anyway
