United States President George Bush was tonight accused of trying to
undermine the United Nations by setting up a rival coalition to
coordinate relief following the Asian tsunami disaster.
The 'leadership' from the UN has been quite lacking wrt the disaster.
Kofi was happily ski-ing... At least, GWB had been proactively
handling the relief effort.
Additionally, it wouldn't be surprising that most of the American
aid isn't through the government anyway. On the other hand, early
in the process, the <$200K (yes less than 200 thousand dollars) from
France was ludicrous (but as expected.)
