1. I never blamed the UN. I blamed the individuals involved. I don't do group think or group blame.
2. It appears to me from the article that the UN has enough food to give out. It's just that the INDIVIDUALS were using it as sexual currency, rather than humanitarian aid.
3. Cutting the NEA is very relevant to the discussion. The conceptual point is that raising taxes is not necessary to provide foreign humanitarian aid. It is a matter of prioritizing the allocation of our resources. I could have just as easily chosen ethanol subsidies. Would that change your mind?
