| Humanitarian crisis in Iraq ends - UNICEF |
| 2010-04-01 |
| BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) said on Wednesday that the humanitarian crisis in Iraq has ended. Want to bet that doesn't make the CBS Evening News? “Although the crisis has ended, there are still some weak points,' the UNICEF said in a report posted online. It said that investments in Iraq should move from dealing with minor cases toward embracing more permanent solutions. So keep that money rolling in, okay? |

| #2 It is truly tragic that UNICEF changed from being a proponent of children to being an instrument of what must be called "evil". Founded to help starving children in Europe after WWII, in 1989 it embraced the extreme left-wing "Convention on the Rights of the Child", which was anything but what its title suggested. Before it had been concerned with the "big four interventions: growth monitoring, oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding, and immunization." But after the CRC it embraced the doctrines of radicals of all stripes. It now funds children's suicide bomber schools in Gaza, and the "International Child's Day of Broadcasting", spending huge amounts of money to advocate for international taxation for things like AIDS--while no longer funding programs to help children with AIDS. It is also likely that UNICEF will go the way of the UN "Human Rights" Commission, which is now run by the worst human rights offenders of the world. As such, UNICEF will no longer discourage child slavery, child labor and prostitution, infanticide, etc. |

| #1 Say thank you to the US Military and our Allies, and the generosity of the US people (mainly red-state types). |
