Cyclone Nargis: Images, Video, Opinion.
The blogosphere has responded with an embarrassment of images from the disaster areas in Myanmar.
Abitsu.org has a heartbreaking video depicting the damage wrought by Cyclone Nargis – and it doesn’t hold back. There’s a high corpse count in this one, so you’d better think twice before clicking.
The webmaster of Full Bible Update posts pictures from a fellow minister in Myanmar – thankfully their congregation got through the worst, but seem to have lost a lot in the process. “Literally dozens of churches (as many as 100) were simply ‘washed away’ in the flooding around Bogalay and Laputta,” he explains. “Six families in his congregation in Yangon lost their homes and are now staying with him and a friend.”
San Oo Aung has collated pictures from all over on their website.
And finally, I’ve written a piece on whether outsiders should be more involved in the disaster: Should the World Intervene in Myanmar?

Junta’s “Forced to win referendum” will be finished soon. It’s sure; Burma is going into the pocket of economically growing China regime. If western power didn’t take this opportunity to help Nargis victims and democratization in Burma, it will never have again. We’ll be regret if we didn’t make rightly decision on Burma. More victims will be dead by various kinds of diseases and hungers. It’s unforgettable and unforgivable great catastrophe that disregarded by heartless regime of Burma.
Too late will be perished more Nargis victims. It’s the best time to invade Burma for humanitarian assistance. Why the World so patient when human being are dying and hungry. We do not want to see people are meaninglessly dying under brutal military regime. The World must take great honorable responsibility in order to save more innocent people. SAVE BURMA NOW.
