Create an economic cirsis is poor countries and lend them money on high percentage of interest, in return exploit their natural resources. who gives a damn care about suffering of people as long as IMF and World bank secure the interests of blood sucking Multinational Corporations.

A HOSPITAL OFF LIMITS?! What the hell is wrong with those money sucking pigs?! They can at least give those poor people help since they are taking THEIR wealth from them.I have to agree with mightym1, the media here in the United States only shows what benefits them; perhaps those humanitarians haven't heard anything because of lack of international reports our media broadcasts. (But I hope something is done as soon as possible.)

It's a sad commentary on the state of our media when al Jazeera is reporting REAL, meaningful stories in contrast to the tabloid journalism we get from our network news stations.

Please don't get me wrong, I thought the title was "Nigger's natural..." phew it was not what i expected it to be.

They're too busy up their own ass. The UN called Somalia a WORSE humanitarian disaster (which occured AFTER the Western trained, armed & funded illegal Ethiopian invasion & occupation). Fuck the west. They're the biggest fucking hypocrites on the planet.
