Regarding the May 8 front- page story "Scant Aid Reaching Burma's Delta":
I am increasingly bewildered by international "frustration" with the Burmese junta's not allowing relief workers to enter into the country. What is the balance between national sovereignty and international morality? If a human atrocity is being committed in a country, it is the world's responsibility to stop it and to ignore some stupid government's right to national sovereignty. The larger priority is saving lives. This is a case where the sovereignty of the Burmese "state" should be ignored.
The United States, backed by its armed forces, should already be in Burma. Japan, China, Australia and other countries, along with Europe, should already be in Burma. And if the junta resists, the military forces of China and the United States should work together to remove them.
At some point, the peoples of this planet need to move to a vision of a future where international boundaries, petty political differences and the ability of small, barbaric dictators to resist the tide of humanity do not matter.
