I'm not sure why an administration that had no qualms about unilaterally invading another country can't seem to find it in itself to intervene in Burma to give it the kind of humanitarian aid it so badly needs. Isn't not helping them out kind of a human rights violation in itself, even if Burma's military dictatorship is acting idiotically incompetent?

Of course, it's probably dangerous to invade Burma with all its xenophobia and volatility....but then how many people have died in Iraq again?? Seriously.

Umm, oh well I guess? At least China's got good sense?

And what's up with Barack Obama shirking away from Hamas? Doesn't that sort of contradict everything he's stood for foreign-policy-wise throughout his entire campaign? Or is it possible that Obama's started regretting his statements about meeting with hostile nations without preconditions, and that he's seen how much crap Jimmy Carter's gotten for his Hamas dealings? Not that I'm sure we should even be talking to Hamas in the first place (I still need to do more research on that), but there's kind of a discrepancy there.....
