Burma & US passive genocide

Like all decent folk I am utterly appalled by the brutal military subjugation of Burma, the imprisonment of their overwhelmingly democratically-elected leader and Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and now the passive genocide in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis. 
 
However PEACE is the only way - the solutions lie in (a) massive aid urgently delivered by ASEAN countries and (b) resolute International action via ICC prosecutions and targetted Sanctions against the Burma junta and ALL complicit governments, corporations and individuals. 
 
Many Iraqis no doubt welcomed the demise of Saddam Hussein but over 5 years later the dimensions of the Iraqi Holocaust, the Iraqi Genocide (by the 5th anniversary of invasion 1.7-2.2 million post-invasion excess deaths, about half of them VIOLENT excess deaths: Iraqi Genocide) is testament to HOW the US and its European allies conduct high technology, civilian-targetting warfare to minimize Anglo-American military casualties by causing huge civilian deaths. 
 
Excess mortality (avoidable mortality, excess death, avoidable death, deaths that did not have happen) is huge in Myanmar (in 2003, about 350,000 died avoidably; see: Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950). 
 
Massive, urgent International pressure is needed to stop this passive genocide in Myanmar, the US Empire and in a swathe of Third World countries subject to remorseless First World economic hegemony (16 million people die avoidably each year due to deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease but this is set to rise due to the biofuel perversion, global warming and huge global food price rises: Biofuel famine, biofuel genocide and the global food price crisis - Climate Emergency, Sustainability Emergency).
