U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon flew into Myanmar's disaster zone Thursday as he pressed the country's leaders to open the doors to critical international aid for some 2.5 million cyclone survivors. In a meeting with Prime Minister Thein Sein, Ban stressed that foreign aid experts needed to be rushed in because the crisis had exceeded Myanmar's national capacity, according to a U.N. official at the talks.WP: Please, oh please, won't you take our millions of dollars in aid while our own country struggles with the rising cost of gas, airline prices, food prices, a recession, a falling stock market, rising unemployment, Katrina victims who still don't have a place to live, etc.? C'mon? Please?
