This Telegraph article summarizes the tensions between the US and UN

Talking points on both sides in that article, but it's clear one side wants to act and one side wants to talk about acting. Guess which side is which.

At the same time, US officials were briefing journalists about the lack of a UN presence at the airport in Banda Aceh, the capital of the province.

"Look around and see who's present, and you will also see who's missing," said one. "I think you can read between the lines.

"They [the UN] have their compound in town, their cars, but are they getting food out? Are they setting up clinics?"
