I guess what I'm getting at is that as bad as the UN is in terms of slowing down action when it's needed it does at least put obstacles in the path of countries who can be a little too trigger happy sometimes. I honestly believe that if the US had acted fully within UN mandates over the Iraq issue it would not have the bad reputation it has today.
The UN also puts obstacles in the path of enforcing its own mandates. For fourteen years the UN demonstrated how ineffective it was in regards to Iraq. http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/iraq/ … sect2.html .

I know the UN is far from perfect, couldn't possibly try and argue otherwise on that one.
