      I would say that depends on a person’s situation, sitting behind a computer in America and seeing things that go bad, it’s easy for me to see them as dysfunctional. If I were sitting in Darfur or Sudan starving to death and they managed to get a convoy of food to my location, I’d probably see them as making life better even if I’m not happy with some of them doing bad things.

      I guess it’s I think too often they tend to do things in a way that is less than efficient. Not being party to the myriad of laws they have to cut through to get aid to these places, I’m not sure what could be done better there, I’m very unhappy with the sexual abuse claims and how nothing seems to be done about it. So I guess it’s they are insufficient.
