Which bunch of evil bullies - those UN High Commission of Refugees,
those Dutch blue helmets who died trying to stop genocide in Rawanda,
and those with decades of service of UNICEF?
Certainly there are elements of corruption but we can not hold the
American corporate, not for profit, or federal government as ideals.
This kind of comment dismisses the armies of people who work across
the globe for compassion, the unarmed NGO participants that have
higher death rates than soldiers. I might be in my comfy chair but I
have at least the decency to respect those that have left such
comforts behind. (I feel the same about condemnations of soldiers for
leader's failures.)
Supporting ICANN does not require dismissal of UNICEF. To be willing
to undermine the work of the UN to avoid the work of firing a brain
cell is shameless, beyond pandering.

who will be doing trick or treat for UNICEF as a pirate. ARRRRRRRR
