You are still missing the point Matt. The UN was not included by the consortium, so they were left without access resources to the US and other rich nations. This was politically motivated.

We've seen the UN in action (aka the UN inaction), and we decided to be part of the solution, not part of the UN clusterfuck.
I fully support that choice. Lives were saved because of it.

Had the consortium decided to be part of the UN effort by offering their resources and expertise, instead of going around the UN for political reasons, it is entirely possible the aid would have been even more effective.
