UN and Bush

Here instead is the link to the speech the US President gave in the same gathering:

I don't post it all because it is mainly a clumsy justification of US behaviour in Iraq (and it is ridicoulously long).

I'll just quote him saying that -in order to end human suffering- the US will rejoin the UNESCO.
(which -by the way- is an highly respectable and important institution which DOESN'T deal with poverty and diseases)

"Our commitment to human dignity is challenged by persistent poverty and raging disease. The suffering is great. And our responsibilities are clear. The United States is joining with the world to supply aid where it reaches people and lifts up lives, to extend trade and the prosperity it brings, and to bring medical care where it is desperately needed. As a symbol of our commitment to human dignity. The United States will return to UNESCO."
