misery upon misery

I wouldn’t want to be Burmese today.

If I were Burmese, alive and standing amidst the bodies floating on still water, like the bodies of buddhist monks face down in dark streams, how would I feel. I don’t know. I wouldn’t be sane, by then. I would be a gibbering mess, laughing and trying to claw my eyes out.

I wonder how much more the Burmese people can take.

The International Federation of the Red Cross has more recent news. BBC has put up satellite images showing the extent of the disaster.
