UNDP medal

I am envious of Indonesians for having President Soeharto, especially at a time when the leaders of my country (India) and my neighboring country are boasting of having nuclear capabilities, while the poor village women on either side of the border walk kilometers to fetch head-loads of water. No doubt our leaders work very hard getting Nobel prizes for peace by continuously developing gutters and adding to the poorest of the poor.

Congratulations to President Soeharto and Indonesia on the UNDP medal for reducing the number of poor people in the country.
