April 17, 2008

God, please.

The UN was right to protect Preval from the demonstrators, but what has the UN been doing for the Haitians? Have they been pushing for the government to end port restrictions that cause donated food to rot in ship containers? The UN bungled the elections years ago, but apparently it's okay with them to have ballot boxes stuffed as long as the candidate they support is the announced winner.

I don't criticize the hard-working UN workers, but the higher-ups in far away offices that don't understand the value of a human life.

The United Nations is such a fantastic idea, and it has been my dream to work for them... But the incompetence and bureaucracy is so heartbreaking. I applaud the UN workers in the field. They are the ones that deserve the most credit and gratitude. I hope to join them someday.


As a side note, bless poor General Dallaire's heart.
