Just think about that tonight as you drive home - especially now that some of them won't have a home left after today's events kicked off in Iraq. I sincerely hope you enjoy your evening meal tonight, and everyone else, because some of them won't have one. And sleep well tonight, because they won't sleep well while missiles fly over their houses and bombs go off.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, got the scars, got the little bits of metal in a plastic tube, courtesy of a nice surgeon.
Like I said, UNICEF, like all UN "snout in trough" operations, won't do squat. Some of your NGO agencies might actually make decent use of donated funds, but everything within range of the UN gets the very opposite of the Midas touch. Try asking UNICEF about the money for kids in Ethiopia that somehow turned into cases of scotch for those above the rank of Major. Whoops.
Your average Iraqi will likely sleep a little sounder tonight, missiles or no, because tomorrow they won't be at risk of summary execution, summary annexation of all of their assets, etc. Chances are the US military Governor of Iraq won't make the acquisition of chemical weapons a higher priority than the provision of fresh water & food.
"Goodnight, sleep well, and may your God go with you."
Now if only airlines would start collecting for sensible charities, like JPFO, I'd empty my wallet during every flight.
