I called Doctors Without Borders [Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)} today, asking what help they would be providing to the New Orleans (and elsewhere) Katrina victims.
I had donated $500 to MSF just a few weeks ago.
The answer, summarized, was "We don't provide help to developed countries."
Meaning, MSF will provide nothing, ZERO, to help the victims of Katrina. The answer was quite unambiguous.
Fool me once, fool me twice.
I'm going to ask them for a total refund of my (recent) donation to MSF after Labor Day, and will make MSF's life extremely miserable if they don't refund it.
Finally, they're disgusting. I've seen MSF do excellent work in other countries.
The french have su@ked for centuries...believe me, my ancestors knew and so did the settlers during the french/Indian wars. Give up your fries..it's the least you can do.
Huh?
I've made it clear from the beginning that I admire their work.
"Dragging through the mud"?
You are of course completely ignorant to the many FR threads over the years where I've defended MSF.
