CLARE SHORT BLASTS U.S. FOR CLARE SHORT BLASTS U.S. FOR NOT BEING SANTA CLAUS, GOD, ROLLED
INTO ONE. In this BBC report Clare Short demanded that the U.S. do something about bad things:

America had to realise a "major cause" of the criticism it attracted around the world was the unresolved Middle East conflict.

Ms Short said: "That hurts the hearts of people. If US tried harder, we could do better."

And:

Yet there were those on the "extreme right" in America who were uninterested in helping such countries [Somalia, Congo, Afghanistan] Ms Short said. "That is not a very caring attitude; I think it is also a very foolish attitude."

Caring=Talking. Thanks for the advice, Clare.
