The un messes up most everything it touches. For each East Timor, there are hundreds of failures. Giving Iraq to the UN will do about as much help as the UN does to Africa. The UN's track record on nation building is abysmal.

Speaking of east timor... Did you know that kissinger was there in indonesia, giving his approval mere days before indonesia invaded? How about all of the weapons that indonesia(btw, the most populous muslim nation in the world) recieved from us even after it was evident that they were commiting massive atrocites on that island.
For every iraq, there are many examples of places where the us has just sat idly by and watched a ruthless dictator commit human rights abuses against his own people. Including, oh, iraq.
That being said, we shit in this bed, now it is time we sleep in it. I'd be fine if the un took over, and we'd, as a country, might be able to work on reducing the national debt instead of cleaning up our messes on the other side of the world.
