You can't dispute that there's a crying need for help in Africa. But if this $15B is going to be administered through the UN, then I'm against it.
I say this because, immediately after the SOTU, Kofi Annan was in the press just giddy at the prospect of $15B.
The project is noble, but doing it through the UN is throwing money down a rathole. Other than Annan's comments, I don't have any evidence that this will be a UN project, so I guess this is a preemptive rant.
