#1 SOLIDARITES is a humanitarian organisation which provides aid and assistance to victims of war or armed conflict. For over 20 years the association has concentrated its action on meeting three vital needs - water, food and shelter - by carrying out emergency programmes followed by reconstruction projects.

Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations' customs and culture, SOLIDARITES' programmes are implemented through the joint expertise of around fifty French expatriate volunteers and nearly
one thousand local managerial staff and employees.

#2 More importantly, they're French. I guess at least some of the French people disagree with it's governments view on Aid to Iraq.

#4 Security provisions, by either Iraqi or American forces, should offered to them on a non-negotiable, friendly basis... Ditto for any other NGOs that still there.

We need to use our common sense, even if the Red Cross, U.N., and others have put theirs in storage.
