The cyclone in Burma, and the upcoming Olympics in China, have caused a lot of attention to be paid to Asia lately. They deserve it.
Please visit the US Campaign for Burma website to find out more about what is happening there. Currently the Burmese junta has taken the aid designated for the victims and has not allowed the aid workers to distribute it. We need to ask the UN to strongly urge the junta to let aid workers in. The UN also needs to ask China to speak with the junta to encourage them to allow aid workers in. China holds considerable sway with the ruling junta and they need to act.
