It seems as if he has only waited for a reason to set up an organisation to rivel the hated UN. He makes political capital even out of this :-(((
I wish I could _do_ something. Not just give money - I can't give much, I haven't _got_ disposable income - but *do* something. And I worry about long-term effort. Sure, right now it's important to get those people fed and watered and sheltered - but what happens in the longer term? How will *those* economies get back on their feet?
