The UN invalidated themselves. And the US will always have to play world cop, world nurse, world bank, and world bitch. For every good deed we'll do we'll have two seemingly bad deeds come out of it. Somebody has to do it though because the world is shrinking and the problems of any other region are quickly becoming ours. The UN isn't going to ever have the resources or the backbone to follow through on many of their promises. Not just because they don't want to, but because in many cases they can't. The US will constantly be pissed on for sticking its neck out, but if we didn't do it nobody would, and then next thing we know there are either terrorists at our door, or AIDS, or drugs, or famine, or economic strife, or angry dictators, or starvation, or {insert world problem here}. This doesn't mean we are right, but it means that we are trying. And that we believe.
