Burma's Unnatural Disaster - WSJ.com

Dictatorship deepens disaster's impact: "Even before Cyclone Nargis hit early Saturday morning, nongovernmental organizations such as World Vision were warning of the impending disaster. Radio Free Asia and Voice of America broadcast news of the storm's approach. Burma's ruling generals, by contrast, did nothing to prepare their people for the cyclone." (Hat tip: John Eagleton.)
