    Big deal! Do something like suspend all aid and tell them not to expect any further covering for them at the UN. That will get their attention.

    I hope that this isn't too upsetting, vza, but I'm once again in the invidious position of agreeing with you. Surely one of us is going soft.

    I wonder what difference it makes if it's "sharply criticised" or just "criticized" since it's all forgotten in 2 days time...This is a farce..
