The reasoning behind the refusal for foreign aid is that this would mean allowing foreign soldiers, to generally from the bulk of the aid workers and rescue parties, onto Burmese soil, supported by military aircrafts for search and rescue. Although I aggree that this is terribly foolish, I've already heard several people say "make he most of it to kick out the régime". If you were behind a dictatorship (and therefore massively paranoid), you'd have second thoughts too.
Lets hope at least the N.G.O. workers will be given visas in the coming days.
You are most definitely right that that this is the reasoning behind their decision. However, it's still incredibly frustrating knowing that a big part of the population is in deep shit, while the government refuses help for idealistic/personal reasons. But as you say, they're massively paranoid and therefore their reasoning isn't, well, reasonable.
the same reasonnig goes for North Korea.
and so far the UN/western Countries haven't decided to "invade" Burma to help the survivors and also free them from those tyrants...probably as they're holding hands with BP just to name one of the big compagnies doing billions of business in Burma...with the agreement of our countries of course!
