So you justify a totalitarian military government treating a large
****tion of their population, who are injured,
starving, and dying, inhumanely simply because 'it's their own
business' ?  You have no compulsion to
provide aid to prevent widespread death by malnutrition and disease.
You would not have a problem
with Louisiana not providing relief to hurricane Katrina victims simpy
because it is a State issue, which in fact it was and not a Federal
one.
