Bush on freedom and poverty - get real!

To quote George Bush's speech at the UN today:

"When innocent people are trapped in a life of murder and fear, the (UN) declaration is not being upheld. When millions of children starve to death or perish from a mosquito bite, we're not doing our duty in the world. When whole societies are cut off from the prosperity of the global economy, we're all worse off."

"Changing these underlying conditions is what the declaration calls the work of larger freedom and it must be the work of every nation in this assembly," he said. "This great institution must work for great purposes: to free people from tyranny and violence, hunger and diseases, illiteracy and ignorance and poverty and despair."

Yeah Bush et al - tell that mumbo jumbo gibberish to the woman above. For God's sake!
