Looking at your post and mine - I did not know their building had collapsed. My comment was with regard to the ambassador saying that it was “great” that the U.N. was there to help. (Not that it was me saying that it was great that their building collapsed).
I suppose just like many comments I (and others) sometimes make, when we might say things like “too bad the U.N. building in New York didn’t fall down” - we mean just the building and the ideals it stands for. Not most of the folks that work there.
But I wonder how much of a help the U.N. will be down there? How much of their effort is with kickbacks, etc. I would hope that they will have the ability and the desire to help.
