No further aid for Myanmar until they let us in. If even then!

I see no reason why the U.S. who has hundreds of thousands of poor, and hungry people on it's own streets every single day, and which is currently being sucked dry by the twin cutpurses of an ill thought out war, and the astronomical costs of gasoline right now, should be pouring millions of dollars (borrowed I am certain) oout of our pockets to send aid to the disaster victims over there. We just sent them millions of dollars worth of food and supplies and what happens? It is seized by the local warlords who say they are not "ready" to let the U.S. in to provide the aid to the people. I will just about guarantee you that thousands of people over there, who really did need the food that we sent, are about to starve to death, because not a piece of the purloined food will be distributed to the people who are in such desperate need. Instead I believe that that food will be hoarded by those officials and their friends against their own possible future hunger, with absolutely no regard for the needs of the people. This just makes me sick! I can think of 200 thousand better ways to invest our money in us rather than in some foreign country that is neither aligned with us politically, nor capable of ever returning to us the aid that we are giving to them. Not in a million years, even if they had the money!
