Despite Downgrade U.S. Ponies Up Big Bucks for Somalia

The U.S. is broke. Bust. Skint. But somehow it has managed to scrape together a cool 100 mill that's been earmarked to tackle the famine in Somalia.

No doubt there will be tons of built-in mechanisms to ensure that this moolah goes to where it's supposed to and not to enrich the heinous Islamists in charge of the joint (and largely responsible for the famine).

And if you believe that, I bet you also believe that, on balance, the UN is a force for good in this world.
