I think we're playing this one by the book, just like we should. If a neighbor needs help, you go over, knock on the door, make an offer. If they don't want your help, you tell them the offer is on their doorstep, and you walk away.

From cnn.com
"....To complicate matters, Myanmar's embassy in Bangkok, Thailand -- where aid groups have been waiting for days for entry permission -- was closed Friday for a holiday. "
This is insane!

You know what I think?
If Bush had come on TV last night saying we were going in to take over and help, there are a few people on this board who would be screaming bloody murder. Steve, you my friend are one of them.
