The rest of the UN are busy strengthening their respective economies while the US is fighting in Iraq spending millions of dollars everyday which is now indebted to China, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

FRANCE, Germany and other leading members of the United Nations should have lent their support to the war in Iraq.
Had the war that toppled Saddam Hussein gone ahead with the UN's explicit endorsement, much of the chaos and instability that followed could have been avoided.
France and Germany could have conferred "international legitimacy" on military action.
If the big European powers (esp Russia) chose to endorse a second UN Security Council Resolution giving explicit authorisation for military action, it would have made a difference.
The insurgency in Iraq today would be a lesser problem had a second UN resolution been agreed before the invasion and if the UN had been in the driving seat from the start and throughout the conflict.
The hawks in Washington were too impatient.

The UN, as an organization, made their stand very clear when they said that they would not support a war in Iraq. But the US invaded anyway, ignoring the views/opinions of the UN. So why would you criticize them for standing by their convictions?
There are many countries within the UN who supported the US by sending troops to both Iraq and Afghanistan...but the official stand was no war. You don't have to like it...but thems the facts.

Assuming the UN Position, bent over with their heads in the sand. They should be disbanded, think of all that could be done the money that is wasted on the UN.

Prior to the invasion of Iraq, the security council, and other nations, made it quite clear, with a vote, it would not support the U.S. invasion. By the way, the UN issued a report saying it was very unlikely Iraq had WMD, and, it was correct, in hindsight.

39 Countries have troops in Iraq, fighting alongside the USA. And, I just heard that Poland is sending a Brigade to Afghanistan too.

They've decided not to attack a country that hasn't done anything wrong since the Gulf War.
I suppose you morons think you know better than the UN tho huh.
What does it feel like to be blissfully ignorant?

The US has no right to expect the UN countries to participate. Bush went against the recommendations of the UN therefore releasing them form any responsibility to support the US.
If you want to point fingers at the UN, point them at Bush, he is the reason they are not in the mess with us.

We are part of a coalition. Of course you don't hear that too much in our media. The UN is too busy writing resolutions that nobody gives a patootie about.
