I thought the article said they were stopping construction based on the threats, rather than speeding up construction on the complainer/guntoter's bungalow. I think you're putting words into the UN's mouth on this one, but I'm only going off of the story you posted.

From the article:
"We decided yesterday to freeze the construction until we can see that these irresponsible acts will not happen again,"
Now does that say, we're screening to make sure these guys get nuttin nuttin, or does that say, just quit point the guns at us and we'll give you what we can?

Thanks for not being intimidated by the odds. Usually I'm pretty good about getting you, but I think all the weeeed I used to smoke is clouding my faculties again. I tend to agree with Ty's point about resources, but I don't know shit about the UN's admin of Jenin so that would be a guess.
So let's assume the UN can, but won't, screen the recipients of its aid. Are you saying that the US is screening those recipients in Iraq? I guess I'd be interested in seeing a cite on that one. If the US isn't, then I don't see your point on why the UN is so poorly suited to help reconstruct Iraq.

I don't know 'bout that drug thing. After reading all the lucid junkies on this board, I'm convinced that drugs only harmed people in my neck of the ghetto.
As for resources, the last few paragraphs of the article detail how different people are getting different things. Apparently, they are exercising some discretion in the building. Contrast that to public housing's one-size-fits-all 8 room romper-pads.
Whereas, I'm not sure I've seen any articles about the U.S. bestowing such benefits on individual Iraqis. So, "I guess I'd be interested in seeing a cite on that one".

Also I note that the story says that none of the money is really "our" money. Unless you are from the UAE.

I'm not convinced its not, but I'll concede for the moment.
