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.

2. I doubt that if even Bolton would want to be most hated man aliveafter

Saddam.

Veto humanitarian aid. Wow.
