It's sad to see people die because of other indifference. We get enraged when people in a city near to us kill a single person, like in London or Cleveland. But when people murder hundreds or thousands we do nothing but prattle about it. Burma is just the last piece of proof and no doubt next year there will be another instance.
As for the Burmese resisting, I would not like to see Western lives lost and it's a consideration. I just doubt if the military would fight people bringing in aid. Would the Junta be prevaricating if they knew the options would be their over throw?
They could not do much if aid were being dropped.
Time will tell if the UN needed to of applied more force to the Junta.

Sorry for caring about people.
