George W. Bush was born with a silver spoon up his ass
UN hits back at US in report saying parts of America are as poor as Third World"
(ya think they are a little pissed about Boltons appointment?)
The U.K Independent coverage of the U.N Report goes on to say:
-The infant mortality rate in the US is now the same as in Malaysia
- Child poverty rates in the United States are now more than 20 per cent
- Blacks in Washington DC have a higher infant death rate than people in the Indian state of Kerala.
Further, "The report is bound to incense the Bush administration as it provides ammunition for critics who have claimed that the fiasco following Hurricane Katrina shows that Washington does not care about poor black Americans.
( hate to act as the devils advocate here, but does Europe really treat their religious and ethnic minorities all that well? Rigid, highly structured, institutionlized class systems anyone? We suck hard, but we do not suck alone.)
But the 370-page document is critical of American policies towards poverty abroad as well as at home. And, in unusually outspoken language, it accuses the US of having "an overdeveloped military strategy and an under-developed strategy for human security".
You know the international community has had enough of us when we suffer an enormous tragedy and we still get spanked and its Bushs' fault, we get it. Bush is doing wonders for the U.S internationally.
