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?
