Hi Nayting and Thunderbolts,

Putting our heads together solving this catastrophic disaster is a better way than banging each other heads or slinging abuse. The main stumbling block and hitch in distributing aid is mistrust. Instead of building confidence, United States, France, British and including Australia are taking high moral ground, criticized Myanmar to score political mileage.

Myanmar will be most grateful to accept any sincere and genuine help, assistant and donations through proper channel from any country. Myanmar will not give a blank check or freehand to any foreign agencies.

France's foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, the founder of Doctors without Borders, last week said United Nations should invoke its "responsibility to protect." He called for the world body to "obtain a United Nations resolution which authorizes the delivery [of aid] and imposes this on the Burmese government." But China and several other Security Council members opposed French efforts to raise this idea, as did senior U.N. officials.

How can Myanmar trust Doctors without Border and any NGOs to enter sensitive areas? They need to be scrutinized closely before giving permission.

United States, France, British and Australia should handover aid to third party supervisory groups whom Myanmar Government trusts. A support team which consist representative of donors countries, headed by third party supervisory group will oversee distribution of aid where required. In every support team Myanmar minders must be embedded to keep an eye.

Countries most likely Myanmar trust is China, ASEAN countries or perhaps India. It would solve logistic matters and National Security.

It is just a thought.
