I think what a lot of people object to Cloudy is that a country will give aid when it is in its best interests to do so, and then claim that it is the greatest thing diplomatically since sliced bread (like the US and UK have a habit of doing).

But then when another humanitarian disaster comes up it will be ignored by the same countries that before had preached their generosity. We don't like the intention or the double standard, but fot that country the aid is often very welcome.

Sorry I got you and SC into this... Didn't mean it!
