| An ad downplays the murders of 3,000 — and gets an award for it: |

| #11 I disagree - the U.N.'s 'Vampire Vulture Elite' (from the Diplomad) didn't show up until 4-star restaurant service and 24-hour (4-star) catering had been restored - and they could take all the credit for USAID without having to deal with those icky common people. |

| #10 Barbara, you are too harsh on the UN workers. They have to endure many hardships when working in the field. For example, after the tsunami, many of them had to eat at three star restaurants for days at a time. |

| #9 "In short, they work. Does the UN?" "Work" is a four-letter word, Eric. It has no business being used in the same They're mutually exclusive. |

| #8 Oh, US aid doesn't count. It usually arrives via aircraft carrier. Of course, aircraft carriers have planes and helicopters to drop and deliver food, desalinization plants to produce fresh water, doctors and corpmen to treat patients, and nuclear reactors to produce power. In short, they work. Does the UN? |

| #6 I think I liked the WWF better when it was the World Wrestling Federation. And yeah, what P2K said! IIRC, the first to show up to help at the tsunami in Indonesia were the United States, Australia and Singapore - capitalist infidels, all of them. And they got there long before the People of the White Land Rover. |

| #5 What the miscreants who created the ad choose to ignore was the tsunami of relief sent to the world by not just the US government but the American people which dwarf the relief efforts by others [often hampered by the lack of four star accommodations for UN officials]. What other country was able to send a carrier task force to provide immediate supplies and relief to the far reaches of Indonesia. It is just another reflection of the MSM work to bury something 'good' that happened during the Bush administration. So why would anyone be surprised this is an attitude we reap for the abject bigotry of our 'media professionals'. |

| #4 On behalf of WWF, here in the US and around the world, we can promise you this ad does not in any way reflect the thoughts and feelings of the people of our organization.” "Those how felt so have either been shipped to Brazil or sent around the corner to Starbucks." |

| #3 Not only tasteless - but ignorant. The Tsunami was a natural disaster while 9/11 was a deliberate act of terrorism. |
