I heard a representative of UNICEF the other day at a World Water Forum event. She said that 4,000 children die every day from lack of clean water and sanitation. That is more people than died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Does Rudy Giuliani know about this? Will his gritted teeth address this problem?
In another post on this blog I proposed that Homeland Security focus on heart disease, the #1 killer of Americans. Now, I propose that they also address the global clean water and sanitation problem, the #1 killer of children on the planet.
If thousands of children are dying everyday, my Homeland (the Earth) is not Secure.
OK, presidential candidates, let's hear you propose to change the focus of Homeland Security to the UN Millennium Development Goals.
