Is it going to require a United Nations Resolution? |
|
To get humanitarian relief to those in the affected States before another baby dies - unnecessarily. Other countries have offered help, and Bush has not accepted their offer.
Perhaps President Chirac could be asked to table a Resolution at an emergency meeting of the UN, supported perhaps by one or more African States. Waste of time asking Tony Blair: he would not want to do anything that looks like criticism of Dubya.
The victims of Katrina and the flooding are going to need help for years - they need to be together as much as possible (communities have been dispersed by the evacation and yet-to-be-achieved evacuation), found employment and helped to rebuild their lives. It is going to cost a great deal.

1. UN? With Bolton holding veto power? LOL |
|
The junta does not care how many die, what matters is not taking help that would prove other nations care more about our people than the junta pretends to.
