The rich, white-guy approach to world poverty programs

PRESIDENT Bush’s grotesque ambassador to the United Nations, the recess appointee John Bolton, is busily trying to demolish the program designed by its member countries over a period of years to try to meet the problem of world poverty.

Some of the United Nations’ other member countries, and some Americans, may have been finding it difficult to understand why Mr. Bolton, with the clear backing of the administration, has been trying to take a meat ax to the U.N. program. The anti-poverty program to be presented to an estimated 170 U.N. heads of state this month in New York is clearly needed. It is supported fully by all of America’s allies, including the long-suffering British, led personally by Prime Minister Tony Blair.

It is horrible to say, but the Bush Administration’s slow, inadequate, insensitive response to the tragedy in New Orleans makes what Mr. Bolton is doing in New York very clear: These people don’t care about poor, non-white, sick, helpless people anywhere, not even in the United States.

So how could anyone ever imagine that they would care about poor, non-white, sick, helpless people in the rest of the world?
