Thank goodness UNICEF isn't run like FEMA

NEW YORK/GENEVA, 8 October 2005 - UNICEF is supplying immediate assistance to the Government of Pakistan in the wake of Saturday's massive earthquake


Did you hear that? Immediate assistance... and they aren't trying to barter for control of Pakistan's military either...

Anyone should look at the WORLD's response to the Earthquakes and then look at the U.S.'s response to Katrina/Rita and see that our FEDERAL government is a COMPLETE FAILURE at protecting us.

1. UNICEF stepped up in the aftermath of Katrina as well...

Of course it wasn't until Sept. 4 that Condi accepted the assistance.

God forbid she interrupt her shoe shopping and Broadway show attending to wander over to the UN and accept help from Kofi before that date.

2. There is no way to compare the two
Unicef is a UN relief agency, FEMA is a internal US government agency.
