From the no-surprises dept.

The Diplomad has a bunch of recent posts about the role of the U.N. in aiding the tsunami victims. For example:

I can tell you, dear readers, that I am temporarily working in one of the countries that got slammed hard by the tsunami and while the UN effort might be in high gear, it must have its parking brake on. No sign of that effort here! Lots of bureaucrats flying in and out, but that's about it.
