Apart from being OT, your example is not pertinent, IMO.

Moving Mount Fuji is, from an engineering point of view, a much easier task than the one you are referring to. After all, all you need to do is some calculation and, provided you have the money, you may come up with the amount of the needed people, escavators, trucks, and explosives, and eventually be able to flatten Mount Fuji in a finite amount of time.

"Helping the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami," instead, is not an engineering project. It involves diplomatic, economical and political issues, and it is not clearly definible in terms of money, materials, human resources. To help the victims, you need to get cooperation from a dozen governments and a few dozens NGOs, to direct your efforts in a direction that makes sense. If such cooperation is not given, you won't even know what kind of help is needed and what you should in which areas.

Besides, what is "help"? Is it giving first aid to the injured? Bringing fresh water to the survivors? Cleaning the existing water? Bringing food supplies? Rebuilding the shattered economy?

I have to tell you this: if I were having a job interview with you, and you dropped that question, I would not want to work for such a confused employer.
