Where are the people ?

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, visiting the Indonesian island of Sumatra, said Friday the destruction was the worst he had ever seen.

"You wonder where are the people? What has happened to them?" Annan said as he toured Aceh province, one of the areas hardest hit by the December 26 disaster.

"I have never seen such utter destruction mile after mile."

Annan and World Bank President James Wolfensohn flew over Sumatra's west coast in a Singaporean helicopter and then drove through the capital of Aceh province, Banda Aceh.

Another coffee break provided by Kofi. Wake up Kofi, the people are dead. He is a disgrace to the United Nations, the United States and the world community.

perhaps we can get Kofi Anan's son to run the relief efford in indonesia. he did a bang up job running the food for oil program for Iraq. all i can think of is all the children who starved while he made deposits to his Swiss bank accounts.
