Can anyone supply the UN guy's email address? I need to express to him or his office directly the disgust and anger I feel. For him to play politics with this world's biggest donor, donor corporations, group of NGO disaster-relief orgs, churches raising money for far away needs, and individual donors from the very poorest to well ... I'm really not so sure about the very rich. How much will Teresa fork over? Michael Moore? All the Hollywood slut boys and girls? Maybe they could turn a trick or two for Ege Norway who wants all the gifts to be channelled thru his agency ... Did we get any disaster relief for Florida or other places hit by hurricanes? ... At the UN, they get their jollies by being the center of even our own gift-giving. That's what they do at the UN, play the game of putting their outfit at the center without doing anything to meet the bottom line. They don't create wealth or jobs or dividends, they just slurp up ours and damn us for being selfish. All these Eurocountries that disdained the coalition in Iraq, sacrificed no warriors, nor helped pay the financial load. Now they have the gall to call us selfish? This guy should be fired immediately, and I want to tell him so. Send him back to the Norwegian bureaucracy; he'll always have a job.
Jan Egeland can be reached at: egeland@un.org. He hasn't responded to my letter, however.
