Paul, Re the UN and "But George, what except talking do they do."They were the organisation that gave credibility to gulf war 1 which achieved the objective of freeing Kuwait.They were not involved in gulf war 2 which has, according to recent reports, worsened the problem of international terrorism.
Also, re "Darfur, 400,000 dead, thousands raped and tortured. 4 million refugees. where are the UN?".Good point, but tell me, where are the US? As has already been pointed out, the US has a budget and the UN doesn't.
"i would suggest that arab troops gave credibility to gulf war 1"!A very good point; just the sort of thing that an international organisation like the UN can arrange.
Presumably, like the UK, the US are providing some humanitarian aid. I'm not sure they need NATO troops because I think that would be seen as too "Western". I'm also not sure that taking the initiative is what's needed. The whole of the UN needs to agree to act and that will always be a slow process.
Why does the US feel it needs to protect and stabalize every country in need? We can't stop all evil in the world, the only way for world peace to happen is if someone takes over the world, which is impossible.
Besides, we need evil.
