Michael Green, a CSIS senior adviser, was quoted by United Press International, "Aid Programs Ready to Help Myanmar."
The Myanmar government says more people were killed by a tidal wave sweeping away entire villages than by the monster cyclone triggering the wall of water.
The weekend cyclone's destruction forced the military junta ruling Myanmar, formerly Burma, to reluctantly accept international aid and foreign humanitarian workers to supply food, water and shelter, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
Mike Green, a former National Security Council expert on Asia, told the Times it was unclear whether the cyclone would thaw relations between the United States and the isolationist Myanmar military leadership.
"This will be a real test case," said Green, a senior adviser at the Washington think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies. Accepting U.S. assistance "would be significant."
