I hate to be the one to tell you this, buddy, but the UN has no teeth. It has no capability to fix anything even remotely involving violence. It was established as a clearing house for the world; basically a place for nations to get together and debate and negotiate. Beyond that, however, it is utterly useless. Do you think they'll be able to negotiate with al Sadr and Zarquawi? No, of course not. Thus, they are utterly and completely useless.

"But the rest of the world will send in military forces, right!?"

Wrong. European countries such as France and Germany have sizeable military forces, but they are entirely designed for defense. The Germans (who have an army of approx. 200,000) recently reported that they were incapable of supporting an international force larger than 2,000. That is, in a word or two, utterly pathetic. That's what happens when you listen to he liberals who want to cut our military budget down and make us a mirror of the pseudo-socialist European nations.
