<< We're obviously not giving enough independently of the UN. It might have more effect if it weren't being wasted on corruption. >>
Bullshit.
"We" [Including Australians and the New Zealanders -- the only three Civilized Nations left on a bloody planet the rest of whose population -- often on the same day -- is either grovelling and begging at our feet or ripping at our throats] have been around 98% of the on-the-ground aid and assistance from day one.
the united nations' efforts to date have involved a bunch of otherwise deservedly unemployed mindless bureaucrats who, when they are not supercilliously sneering at our contributions are First-Class and Five-Star junketing it about the bloody globe holding champagne and caviar-catered "meetings" at which they tries to figger how to retroactively force the ANZAC and American forces into un blue hats -- so the un may steal the credit for our efforts.
And America's PRIVATE bloody contributions are greater than the combined total of the Euro-peons' Neo-Soviet's satellite states.
Meanwhile -- while America's war widows cannot afford to put headstones on their dead soliers' graves -- another more than two million Africans have died from the diseases that continent's con-men gummints nowadays call AIDS, two millions more have starved to death or died from Malaria and yet another 350,000 Americans have died from Alcoholism.
Interesting points.
