na jaa Burma nu, tere lekh jaange naale

death toll could be as high as 500,000.:((

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1143691.ece

L ast night’s warning came as it emerged that 17 Britons, including ex-pats and backpackers, were still missing.

Sources said 200,000 people were already dead or dying.

But the figure could rise to HALF A MILLION through disease and hunger if the nation’s hardline army rulers continue to block aid for the devastated lowlands of the Irrawaddy Delta.

That would dwarf the 230,000 deaths across South East Asia in the 2004 catastrophe.

SSA paaji,

Maybe the good Lord is putting them out of their misery?*-)
What can one do when faced with 'the wrath' of fate; we can either say "it was meant to be" or teach the virtues of education and scientific thinking to our masses in South Asia.

It always puzzles me that casualties of natural disasters in the third world are always far far greater (proportionately speaking) than the so-called developed/industrialised nations.*-)

Does that give anyone food for thought?
