Oh the mighty UN and their officials in Sri Lanka! What better can they do than spending millions of dollars on various impractical plans, such as the very timely yet utterly useless National Emergency Operational Plan. Every time there's an emergency, they send tens or hundreds of 'international experts' whose names are either Mr. Do-Nothing or Mrs. Know-Nothing.
