Reply #43: Nobody asked the UN

[Doomsayer13]

We should bring the UN in, but the UN as an institution is self-intersted and flawed. I think it's incorrect to assume that the UN is some sort of benevolent institution that wants to clean up everybody's mess. Hell, they're so busy trying to make everybody happy that nothing can hardly get done there. Kofi has not said that he'd replace our troops, but he has said he'd help out. John Kerry wants to do this. But we can't assume that the UN and its countries will want to send their children into combant zone to replace ours, they all think, and rightfully, that this is our mess therefore we must bear the brunt of it.
