Yes, I am sure the people in power are making mistakes, the same as FEMA did with Katrina. What I am trying to say is:- don't think that if a civilian, democratically elected government had been in power there, that the response would have been any different.[/quote]
I agree about the slow response from FEMA but the local government ( city, county, state) was more to blame in my opinion. The big difference if you want to compare the two tragic storms is that the people of Katrina were better informed of the coming disaster yet some refused to leave.
With the infrastructure so different between the two countries maybe early warning to Burma would not have made such an impact many people without the means to escape but I would hope they could of had the decision to make like the people in New Orleans did.
