World leaders are gathered at the United Nations general assembly in New York this week. The theme for this year’s meeting was supposed to be the development of the world’s poorest nation but has been overshadowed by the turmoil in the American economy. That has angered many leaders as the proposed bailout plan seems hypocritical given the tough course Washington has often advised struggling nations to take. World Vision CEO Tim Costello is in New York for the meetings and he says the UN needs to focus on the initial theme of poverty.
