Watching Goofy Annan on tv today, it was amusing to watch him trying to portray the UN as legitimate as he proclaimed that money was coming in... And when the dust clears over in Indonesia, his cronies will be able to identify the needs of the dying people...And at that time, will be able to determine what the damage is, and who needs what, where...

All the while, anyone who picks up a paper or turns on the tv knows that the US is already there with troops, logistical support and supplies...Goofy and UN are only relevant as long as the US says they are...

Goofy and UN are only relevant as long as the US says they are...

Exactly! And why we do is beyond me!

Aid pledges for Asia's tsunami victims topped 1.6 billion dollars on a tide of New Year sympathy, but the United Nations (news - web sites) warned it would take weeks for help to reach many survivors and that the death toll would likely rise to 150,000.(AFP/Joanne Davis)
