And ... A Pithy Comment!
The cause of the large number of deaths from this cyclone in Burma, is
more due to a typical mass of low income Asians stupidly living on a
coastal flood-plain, rather than the intensity of the storm.
If the same cyclone hit North Queensland the loss of life would be
negligible.
Australia should not offer one single dollar in aid.
This is a problem for Asians to work out.
Especially their Big Brother, communist China.
