This morning many of us are celebrating a very good night for Obama. On the other side of the world it is a very bad morning.

In Myanmar (Burma) this morning brings news of 60,000 - 80,000 people dead.  The cyclone Nargis passed through the region over the weekend, leaving truly unimaginable destruction in its wake.  And it is just the beginning, as soon water-borne illnesses such as cholera, typhus and dysentery will likely ravage the survivors.
