Will any country use military force to invade Myanmar and distribute aid by 6/1/08?
Settled as No
The disaster in Burma presents the world with perhaps its most serious humanitarian crisis since the 2004 Asian tsunami. By most reliable estimates, close to 100,000 people are dead. Delays in delivering relief to the victims, the inaccessibility of the stricken areas and the poor state of Burma's infrastructure and health systems mean that number is sure to rise. With as many as 1 million people still at risk, is it conceivable that a country will use military force against the wishes of the military junta of Myanmar to forcibly distribute aid to Myanmar's suffering population? (This will include countries working under the auspices of the UN)

Market will settle "yes" if military force is used AGAINST the wishes of the Myanmar government.
