Why did the UN stop shipments of life saving food to Myanmar because the Myanmar Junta relabeled the emergency biscuits as coming from the Junta and not the UN?
I mean the only concern for the UN is saving lives right? They're not concerned with only taking credit for the biscuits right?

The thesis that I want to advance today is that the drug war and the laws that prohibit the private consumption of certain drugs are unconstitutional. Prohibition laws, themselves, violate every tenet of limited government that is embodied in our Constitution.

I don't think they temporarily suspended those relief flights just because the Myanmar military was relabeling them to gain popularity.

I thought the generals only let a few shipments of aid in than stopped.

I don't know if it was the Junta that officially stopped shipments, but apparently they won't accept any outside relief workers into the country. All they allowed was a few planes with supplies to drop off their loads and then get the fuck out of their country.
I don't understand it. I mean spinning a situation for PR purposes and to make you look like a hero is all fine and good. But when hundreds of thousands of people are suffering and dying just so you can look good... It's downright retarded.
