I can't imagine there being a huge international outcry over such an action and what the heck is the Burmese government going to do about it?
Just seems to me that if we applied the same "We're America, so fuck you" attitude we do towards toppling governments we don't like onto helping needful Burmese civilians, they may be a bit better off.
So, what gives? I don't agree with entering countries uninvited, but that seems to be the order of the day recently, so why not run with it?

I seem to recall us taking 2 years of diplomacy to bust into Iraq. Maybe we should wait for two years before we invade Burma with food? I love how its bad for us to bust in and help people, but if we dont do it, its bad then too. The hypocrasy of the anti-america crowd is so rediculous. Even more rediculous is the criticism in the face of facts:

The US and France yesterday called for international aid to be delivered to cyclone victims without the permission of the Burmese military government if the regime continues to block the arrival of foreign aid workers and material assistance.
