Burma Cyclone Bringing Change?

I recently read an article about the recent cyclone that ripped through Burma. Natural disaster themselves do not usually cause change to occur, but here it may. After the cyclone many died, 22,000 and rising. "The higher the death toll climbs -- and the less effective the government's relief efforts prove -- the bigger the potential for undermining the military's mandate to rule." The cyclone occurred just a week before the May 10 referendum on a proposed constitution that the military had hoped would go smoothly in their favor. However, with what's happening with the cyclone and the people noticing how little their governments relief efforts are working this could be a time of change in Burma. There is a group in Burma the is pushing for democracy and not a military ruled government. This vote will give people the rare and relatively safe way to express their discontent with the countries junta. This could be a very big time in history for Burma, a time of change.
I feel that with the way things are going that people will take this opportunity to better their country, better their lives, and better their futures.
