The UN has experience helping disasters like New Orleans
But I guess it would be too ironic and embarrassing for Bush to ask a black man, like Kofi Annan, for help because he can't even help his own black citizens.

If Bush is turning away Chicago, how do we expect him to accept the rest of the world?

1. "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
Unless, of course, it comes to sending them to war in Iraq. Then he likes black people just fine.

-------------
U.N. assistance was first offered to Washington on Wednesday by Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland, who led the global aid effort after December's Indian Ocean tsunami.

But U.S. officials, while thanking the world body for its offer, did not request any assistance at that time.

More recently, however, U.S. officials have signaled they were open to all offers as dozens of foreign governments lined up to pledge assistance.

"Anything that can be of help to alleviate the tragic situation of the area affected by Hurricane Katrina will be accepted," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said in Washington.
