Burma Aid Is About Saving Lives, Not Politics, Says Rice
The death and destruction in Burma is not a matter of politics, it's a matter of saving lives, says Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"And it should be a matter that the government of Burma wants to see its people receive the help that is available to them," she says.
The United States and other nations, the United Nations, international relief agencies and nongovernmental organizations are prepared to
bring considerable resources to the victims of Burma's Cyclone Nargis and its aftermath, Henrietta Fore, administrator of the U.S. Agency for
International Development, said May 8 at a Washington briefing.
