UN killing the cyclone victims slowly

Some people hope UN secretary general's visit to Burma will bring some help. We predict newspaper headlines will say, " Isolated regime agrees to receive more international aid after UN secretary general's visit". The reality is that UN secretary general's visit is killing more victims slowly. One paper, it will look like a at least half successful visit. Regime will promise more close cooperation. Then the world waits.

Unlike in September Saffron revolution, where thousands were thrown into jails while UN mediates, the cyclone victims does not much time left. By the time, the world eventually realize that the regime is just playing game, thousands of lives, mostly children would have been perished.

Regime will not allow the massive and most effective sea borne and airborne aid just an hour away from the Burmese shore. Mr. Ban Ki-Moon's visit is just a "feel good visit" which will result in unnecessary death of thousands of lives.

We call upon UN and ASEAN to stop playing game with thousands of innocent lives. We warn you again that, " BLOOD WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS".

The only way to save those lives is to let French, US and British ships and sailors come in and help without permission from this illegitimate regime.

Here is the story for Mr. Ban Ki-Moon to read before his visit.
