Feeling helpless.

Does anyone else feel that way about the poor people of Burma? Why does a group of political/military leaders who are supposed to look after the people in their country think it is acceptable to ignore the plight of those suffering? Are these leaders human beings, or has the power they wield changed them into unfeeling people who are frightened of admitting to the rest of the world their inability to relate to ordinary people and their problems? Burmese people have been suffering from their leaders for so many years and now nature has compounded their problems. Where is the justice in that?

Thank goodness the Chinese government has behaved in the opposite manner.

And the next question I ask myself is, what can I do about it?
