I think most of the videos addressed obvious problems that need to be corrected, but most lacked solutions on how to solve these problems.

DEAR MR. GEORGE CLOONEY!I was one of the early entrants into this contest (see mine).I was shocked, as were my dame and friends, to see which videos won!My comments about this can be seen for the record. I respect you very much for all that you have already achieved and for what you continue to do in the pursuit of world peace!I hope to get your personal response.Even if you intend to chastise me for being so seemingly impertinent and such an apparent 'poor sport'. I am not! Best, JP

The UN asked what we think can be done to make the world a better, safer place. A group of typical U.N. technocrats decided whose videos would win! What did those video tell us? We all know what the problems are! It is very distasteful, unethical to exploit images of starving people! No new ideas, no real solutions! My video offered a genuine solution/idea and I would not be so upset if the winners videos did too. You included two videos where many people spoke: are you going to invite them?
