Intervention in Myanmar?

Two weeks after the worst cyclone in fifty years to hit Asia, the ruling generals in battered Myanmar may be cracking open their door to international aid.

For two weeks — with more than 130,000 dead or missing and millions more clinging to life — the country's ruling junta has let in only a trickle of desperately-needed relief. Which has raised the question: If a government is willing to let its own people suffer and die in disaster, should the world force in relief?
