After two weeks we expected the administrative problems to be solved...Sure.

[I]t is a bit provoking for me to see how all of the world's attention has been brought to this situation in Iraq, when at the same time we are really struggling with tremendous humanitarian crises in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Ivory Coast, in Liberia, in South Sudan, where there is increased malnutrition.

Yet further proof that politics will trump objective evaluations every time. Where does the left elite want attention centered? Why the "crimes" committed by Americans in Iraq, of course.

"We need to look in more detail at morbidity and mortality figures but it is telling that after two weeks of MSF has not found huge medical needs or a reason to describe this as a major humanitarian catastrophe in Iraq."

This understatement, must'a killed them to print!

My guess is that I'll be seeing this same article in the mail soon, along with some heartbreaking pictures and maybe an armband which will allow me to determine if a child is suffering malnutrition by starvation. Sure, Médecins Sans Frontières is a French group, but I'll still donate to them. They seem to be genuinely concerned about suffering, UNlike some international organization that I wish would quietly fold up and blow away.
