Echo's of Chinas indifference to monumental government ineptitude when faced with starvation in North Korea. The Communists seem all to happy to prop up tinpot dictators.
Re: Should the U.S. and others use military helicopters to drop
I hope the Burmese junta uses air to air missiles against US aeroplanes . To me this is another US excuse for unwanted "humanitarian my ass " intervention in another country affairs . The US should drops food , fuel and water in the GAZA strip controlled by apartheid Israel . 1.4 million people are affected by starvation and denial of services by the ZIONAZI policies . This is a manmade disaster . Do not fall for NWO propaganda crap ! .

Poverty in the US
Overview
* There were 37.0 million people in poverty (12.7 percent) in 2004, up from 35.9 million (12.5 percent) in 2003.
* There were 7.9 million families in poverty in 2004, up from 7.6 million in 2003. The poverty rate for families remained unchanged at 10.2 percent. The poverty rate and the number in poverty showed no change for the different type of families.
Age
* For all children under 18, both the 2004 poverty rate (17.8 percent) and the number in poverty (13.0 million) were unchanged from 2003.
* The poverty rate increased for people 18 to 64 years old (from 10.8 percent in 2003 to 11.3 percent in 2004), but declined for those age 65 and older (from 10.2 percent in 2003 to 9.8 percent in 2004).

Let the US drop food to their own.
