#1 Oh, thats great. It is not enough to have victom status for individuals, but we need to tac on entire continients. What a responsible role you have as UN to point out the bad guy. Glad we keep you running with all that cash.

I bet you would be amazed at the poverty and HIV/AIDS rate in Islamic nations.

#4 The UN and EU never seems willing to admit that their ban on genetically engineered crops (suitable for the arid areas) is at least partly responsible for the problem.

#5 Rich counties to blame? Counties?

I would go so far as to say the rich counties to blame are in Zimbabwae and they are no longer rich. In fact quote the opposite.

#8 Sub-Saharan Africa continues to bring ruin upon itself. I no longer feel the least sympathy for anyone except the women and children. Even some of the women have begun to act equally stupid as well. Fortunately, incredible stupidity usually carries a price tag.

#9 Donor fatigue is a polite term for countries finally realizing that the UN does not solve problems but creates permanent bureaucracies to administer, with exceedingly high overhead, neverending welfare programs to the Palestinians, the North Koreans, SubSaharan Africa, all groups that because of government decisions will never be viable. Countries have better things to do with their money than give it to supercilious UN apparatchiks for distribution to the ungrateful.

#12 RWV - I do believe that the UN models its own self on such a construct.
