Herald on Sunday advocates for war

The Herald’s editorial advocating sending a multinational military force into Myanmar to distribute aid is stunningly foolish. 

First, starting a war is not the way to relieve suffering in the Irrawaddy Delta.  Aid work would stop.  No military junta, unless militarily defeated, would accept an invading force.  Second, the claim that the “whole word” would support such an intervention is nonsense.  Few Asian or developing countries would support such an action.  China in particular would likely veto any measure should it go to the Security Council. The Herald grossly overestimates that world’s enthusiasm for another war.
