Speechifying is what President Obama does best. Yesterday speaking at the UN General Assembly he spoke on the importance of the UN, peace, Arab spring, Palestine, global economy, famine in the Horn of Africa, and climate change. However, it was what he did not say that is more important than what he did. He quoted President Truman's words," The United Nations is essentially an expression of the moral nature of man's aspirations." The Security Council is a white man's club and a rogue country, China supporting every act of dubious morality by western countries such as the attack on Libya. The global economy is about to collapse because of Europe and the US. WTO negotiations on the Doha round have stalled permanently because of the obduracy of western countries who want poor countries to open their markets without opening theirs. Per head of population western countries produce many times the levels of green house gases than developing countries. The US is the largest polluter by far, yet refuses any target of reduction because it will increase costs on its industries. The Arab spring resulted from increasing food prices, lack of jobs and affordable housing and youthful populations able to access information on the internet. Thus it is related to the famine in Somalia in that both are caused by exploding population growths in middle east and African countries. Increasing numbers of people will need more land for agriculture leading destruction of forests leading in turn to more global warming. Numbers of humans must decrease if we want prosperity and peace. If the UN concentrates on this one effort everything else will come.
