Can anyone explain why Burma's Military Rulers are being dithering and obstructive of accepting desperately needed and readily available foreign humanitarian assistance , following the urgent and worsening catastrophe of the huge loss of life , and devastation of much of the south of their country , brought about by a cyclone , which , incidentally , they seem to have ignored warnings of , the other day ?
Yes they are probably corrupt , caring nothing for their people and suspicious of foreigners , but is the reason for their lethargy in the face of this horrendously unfolding crisis really as simple as that ?
I recall that even North Korea accepted outside help following , I think it was , an awful train crash there a while back .
