That’s the latest death toll — now expected to grow higher as more than 30,000 are still missing — from the cyclone that hit Burma.
This is really horrible — and despite the bias in the western media against the ruling junta and the hope that this catastrophe will shake the political hold of Burma’s generals, I don’t think that democracy grows from massive natural disasters. In fact, I think the opposite usually occurs.
