US and French imperialists at it again
Just read a German media article that France will send a ship to Myanmar and give out stuff without permission of the local rulers. Isn't that pure colonialism?
Here's something in English I found (it hasn't exactly the "without permission" part though which is reported here):

The U.S. Navy is sending four ships on exercises in Thailand towards Myanmar, and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said he was sending a naval ship with 1,500 tonnes of aid to arrive by the middle of next week.
The vessel, Le Mistral, is capable of carrying heavy-lift helicopters and was the same one used to evacuate French nationals from Lebanon in 2006.
State-run TV in Myanmar warned of "foreign interference" in a repeatedly broadcast message urging people to cast their ballots for the new constitution. Voting in cyclone-devastated areas, including Yangon, has been postponed for two weeks.
The broadcast showed five young women performers in colorful clothing and singing songs, including the lyrics: "let's go voting" and "come along for voting" with upbeat background music.
"To approve the state constitution is the national duty of the entire people today," state propaganda messages in Burmese and English said.
A written message on the screen said: "Let us all who oppose foreign interference and manipulation; oppose puppet government with strings of colonialists. Vote Yes."
