Waste of UN Money?

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told Myanmar on Monday that the international community is running out of patience, saying the junta must embrace democracy and stop inflicting suffering on its own people.
"I know the international community is very much impatient, and our patience is running out," Ban told a news conference in Bangkok.

But ,the budget, about $865,000 next year, beginning January 1, 2008, was approved by the UN General Assembly last week to continue working toward democracy building between the military junta and pro-democracy leaders and monitoring of the situation in the country.

Junta will not listen what Gambari propose for real and effective dialogue with Daw Su. Gambari will be next Razali very soon. No one in Burma, except their cronies, believes that Junta will work with Daw Su. Anyhow, if the allocated budget amount is just a peanut, it is worthwhile, otherwise it is waste of money.
