If the government in charge doesn't want our help fine. We'll keep it to ourselves, and save it for our own next disaster.

I just remember EVERYONE talking about the tsunami, both around me and online, and now, not so much. John, you bring up a really good point about the politics behind the Myanmar government. I only hope the foreign aid finally gets through. Glad to hear (read?) all of your thoughts! :) I do see the news coverage but I’m probably looking in the wrong places.

Maybe it too "similar" to the tsumani, as John points out?

I think there is a lot of press coverage (I see it everyday featured in major news outlets). I do feel that the amount of coverage is proportional to the scale of the event given everything else that's going on the world, both domestically and internationally.
