WHY SHOULD A THIRD WORLD ORGANIZATION BE RUN BETTER THAN THE THIRD WORLD? | 2005-03-17

The United Nations is a third world organization. When it ran the Iraqi Oil for Food program, most of the money was stolen, just as foreign aid is stolen in the third world.

Well, DUHHH!

The reason the third world is so desperately poor, filthy, and has runaway AIDS is precisely because the third world is run horribly.

Not just badly. Horribly. Children are dying in the streets while those in charge steal.

That's the way the UN operates.

Ah, Bob, but we are speaking of the third world. We are speaking in awe of the United Nations Organization.

So what?

You give money to the third world and it will be handled horribly.

That's why it's the third world.
