I was really suprised to learn about how Dr. Bernadette Healy (sp?) quit, partly because the International Red Cross recognizes The Red Crescent, but not the Israeli version of Red Cross.

After what they pulled--or tried to pull--with the 9/11 money, plus what they're doing to Magen David Adom (I had to look it up--I couldn't remember the "Adom" part)...and having my teeth grind together seeing the Red Crescent ambulances in Ramallah....uh nyuh, not a dime, not a nickel, not a penny.

And then I saw "60 Minutes" about the RC in San Diego & remembering the predecessor to Liddy Dole at the RC living lavishly at the expense of Red Cross donations--nope. There are many more worthy charities that'll appreciate my money. I always donate to the Salvation Army & St. Vincent de Paul and to local food banks, among others.

I'll have to double check the caption, but I beleive that yesterday's (Saturday)
Los Angeles Times showed two guys in blue outfits with "UN" in white letters
on it...helping an injured Palestinian.

The "victim" looked to be in MUCH better shape than the poor Israeli fellow missing his left arm
(severed above the elbow) in the photo posted on freerepublic.com yesterday.

Thanks for all the info/reminder about the furtive little b@stards running the
Red Cross (Internationally as well as domestically).
