Firstly, I'd intended to rep you for your use of the word 'brouhaha' but got the usual 'spread more' thing.
Anyway, while I doubt it'd happen, like you, i'm sure the little bastards would do it if they thought they could somehow get away with it. Major disasters invariably garner international sympathy. However they also tend to spotlight faults in the governing regime. Think of New Orleans and the burmese hurricane which, while generating sympathy for the people affected, hardly cast their respective governments in the best of lights and, if anything, weakened their international standing.
Still, have to congratulate you once more for the 'brouhaha' use.
