The UN in Dire Straits Yet Again....
John Holmes has come out noting that the UN needs 5 Billion Dollars to make ends meet. Between Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe and all the rest of the challenges, it is simply overwhelmed. What the UN does is simple things like serving meals, sheltering and supporting all those who have no where else to go. Although the world economic crisis has forced major donors to focus on their own problems, making sure that children in Gaza, Haiti and Darfur are taken care of. The world needs the UN. Whether it steps up to take care of the only institution that can truly make a difference is yet to be made.
