Burmas oil supplies are bought by China and India so they have no reason to do that unfortunately.
There is a really good blog post on the guardian which talks about this subject:

The End draws a little nearer-Burma,China,Chilean volcano,droughts,floods,ice cap collapses,not to mention financial and military contributions.And to top it all off,notice food shortages/riots in Cairo and other third world sites?Seems like the primary cause of this is food producers getting better price from agri-fuel producers.You wouldn't have thought it possible even a year ago-but it is starting to get momentum.Sorry to be harbinger of doom but this is reality.Have you got your escape plan ready?(if it's an ark forget at least 40,000 of the now extinct plant and animal genes ol'Noah supposedly gathered!)
The old quandary-If you were the last one left,what would be the point without the rest of humanity-no matter how shitty it can be?

All I am saying is that the media likes concentrating their attention on natural disasters, eventho there are a lot worse things going on atm.
take the conflict in darfur for example: 0,5 million deaths estimated
that's even more than the whole tsunami thing, and that's in one country
anywayz, sorry for the off topic

ooooooooooh i see, well thats always the way really, for every thing they show on the news there is always something equally bad if not worse going on somewhere else that is brushed over...its pretty shit i agree but its the nature of the news that they can't be everywhere at once reporting on stuff, at the end of the day though they are always going to report what is going to get the most viewers and therefore highest ratings

Sorry but the conflict in darfur is self inflicted I mean, it takes someones finger to shoot a gun.
Some random fucked up thing from inside the earth happening and making BARE people lose their homes and loved ones is much more shocking and sad in my eyes. I mean sure theres innocent people in Darfur and thats also sad but you know.. they're both as sad as one another.

I'm sure the kids in rwanda would agree with you whilest being force-fed their own burning mother's flesh after seeing her get raped and tortured by a group of militants. You know, it being a self-inflicted conflict and all...

News is supposed to be coverd as it happens, is something happend yesterday and it didnt get covered because they did'nt fully cover the thing which happend the day before, we'd never catch up.
Its our job to use different media outlets to get the infomation we need/want. Its just the case that too many people rely on the one newspaper/TV channel.
