<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV>I have no quarrel with setting
intermediate targets on the way toward a goal. The problem is not that the MDG
targets are set too low, but that there is no serious strategy for actually
getting even to the modest intermediate targets. Who is operating the Millennium
Development program now, and what is the true commitment of resources to it? I
see nothing in the program that would lead us to expect achievement of its
exceedingly modest aspirations.
