Humanitarian Plea: Help Jessore
Please read the attached article by Dr. Md. Zafar Iqbal. You can also visit the permanent link from the Shuchinta website at: http://www.shuchinta.com/archives/64
At least 400,000 people are living in water twenty four hours a day in Jessore! There is virtually no land, or drinking water, or food available for all these people.
Please share this with as many people as you can. We NEED to create public opinion and pressure to address this issue. I feel ashamed to admit that I had no clue something like this is happening in our country.
Please use ALL your contacts in any and every place that you can and see if you can at least try to make something happen. If you have any ideas about how we can address this issue better, please let us know.
PLEASE, act on this.
Potheek Aami.

Ahmadinejad Has a Point
It is hard to dispute the Iranian president's argument that the UN security council has become a creature of the US, and a rubber stamp for self-interest.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's forthright criticism of the United Nations was not aimed at the UN itself but at the way the security council is manipulated by the great powers, primarily the United States, to further their own policy objectives. And who is to say he is wrong?
