George Bush asks Myanmar to accept US help
George Washington Bush the President of US has asked Myanmar’s military junta to allow the US to provide disaster relief to thousands of people who were left homeless by the devastating cyclone that ravaged the coast of the country.
George Bush said in his statement, “Our message is to the military rulers: Let the US come to help you, help the people. Our hearts go out to the people of Burma. We want to help them deal with this terrible disaster. At the same time, of course, we want them to live in a free society”.
Bush’s plea came as Washington announced another three million dollars in aid, through the US Agency for International Development.
Bush further said, “Burma has been hit by a terrible natural disaster. Laura & I & members of the Senate express our heartfelt sympathy to the people of Burma. The United States has made an initial aid contribution, but we want to do a lot more”.
