Bush Urges Myanmar To Accept US Help

President George W. Bush on Tuesday implored Myanmar's ruling junta to accept US offers of disaster relief after a devastating cyclone that killed at least 22,000 and left 41,000 more missing. "Our message is to the military rulers: 'Let the United States come to help you, help the people," Bush said, as Myanmar's government set unspecified conditions for foreign relief groups to enter the storm-battered country. Bush also signed a law giving Myanmar democracy icon and junta foe Aung San Suu Kyi the top civilian award the US Congress can bestow. So even though the U.S. does not support the Myanmar military regime, it is the evil American imperialist George Bush who is asking that the U.S. be allowed to give aid to the country to help with disaster relief.
