The Western Nations don't realize that as the result of the sanctions, the people who suffer are the innocent civilians in the delta area, and not the government. The Cyclone didn't hurt the Myanmar government as much as the civilians in the delta area, yet the US are taking this opportunity to bash Myanmar's government. It is really pitiful.

I have been feeling deep inside that there is something I want to say, and you said it for me. I think what the Americans and the whole west just don’t get the fact that they have lost most if not all of their creditability, and 88% of the world population is treating them as laughing stocks. This incident just showed us why. It’s really both funny and tragic at the same time. Indeed there is little one needs to do to make oneself look silly and heartless. The west, ill-served by their self-righteous politicians, is showing their ugliest side to the rest of the world everyday. Great insight.

For the Katrina disaster, Chinese government donate $5million along with emergency supplies. I guess it's more than the total amount US donated to China for all the disasters in the past 50 years, since they always donate $100, 000, or $200,000... hehe, U.S is notorious for its stingy charity habit for some countries.
