DIAMONDS – I had no idea about Switzerland. I am on my way to your blog to find out more.

ANTHONY – Oh, I completely agree. China has such influence. If only…..

It is interesting to compare what is happening in Burma to the response in China following the earthquake. The Chinese pulled out all stops, and are now even accepting foreign expertise.
Just one word from China to the Burmese generals and it would have been the same. If China wants to enter the modern world, it’s time it took seriously its regional responsibilities.

GYPSY – it is completely unfathomable. You’re right – we couldn’t even begin to understand it. It is inhuman.

It’s simply unbelievable that these people are being denied help and assistance by their own governments. It makes no sense at all. The level of suffering is of such magnitude that we would be hard pressed to understand no matter how much we try to imagine it.

BRITT – yet it happens all over the world. Australia has a terrible track record re. treatment of our indigenous people. It makes me sad.

AVITABLE – I know. Sometimes it makes me wonder what’s going on in this crazy world. It often doesn’t make sense.

MELEAH – it must be a nightmare for them. I can’t imagine how hard it must be. either.

KAREN – China is another one. And Darfur. I often wonder why I ended up where I am and the people suffering in places like Africa ended up where they are. Is it just luck that for the moment I am in a better place? I don’t have the answers but I often wonder about it.

MOMO FALI – my pleasure. I really appreciate your feedback.

RICHARD – I am coming to read it right now…..

It is so frustrating to read the accounts of the situation in Myanmar because it makes me feel so helpless. If ever there was a government that needed to get the boot, that one is it.

I am hoping that the Chinese government will accept aid if it is necessary, and will distribute it to those in need.

Well written post, Selma (as usual). The last three paragraphs were especially touching.
