Children cry while staying at a temporary shelter with displaced families in the cyclone-hit area of Dedaye township near Yangon. The international community pleaded with Myanmar’s military rulers to let foreign aid workers and desperately needed relief supplies into the cyclone-crushed country

This one puts things in perspective. While we’re obsessed with Barack and Hillary, the typhoon in Burma (Myanmar, if you prefer) has killed hundreds of thousands and there is very little we can do to help if the Burmese government won’t allow much international aid.

If anything good can possibly happen from this situation, maybe it can help bring down that military junta in Burma that seems to care much more about retaining power than helping its people.
