The "diplomad" blog has some excellent commentary of the johnny-come-late UN people showing up late, trying to lord it over everyone by insisting they have a "right" or a "mandate" to coordinate (read "control and "claim credit") everyone's operations that have been underway for a week before they showed up.

These guys are headline grabbing functionaries with little to offer the victims.
