Contrary to what many people think they know, the United Nations are not formulated with a standing Military Force in existence to go and finish jobs others have started.
Their main priority are 85% Humanitarian actions and the rest Peace-keeping duties. rarely have they been tasked with Peace-Enforcing duties apart from the Congo in the 1960's.
Countries are asked to supply troops for the various UN missions that are taking place around the globe.
All countries who commit, supply volunteers for that work, (you cannot be detailed to serve with the U.N.)

Why Should they ?
When Bush has not made a big American Commitment in Afghanistan ,He has committed 18,000 American troops to the full war there, to track down Osama the reason for the war on Terror. With 150,000 fighting in Iraq. That did not attacked the U.S. and did not Have weapons of Mass Destruction.
Bush's war for Oil , is an insult to those that lost loved ones on 9/11. That Bin Ladin walk free 6 years after the attack .

The last time they deployed in the area they took over 800 killed in action and several thousand wounded. They weren't even looking for Bin Laden at the time.

you misunderstood the above guy. they lost 800, not killed.
Edit: Ok fine, I agree. But Pakistan is not the country to do it. the UN is who should do it, but they like twiddling their thumbs
Why couldn't the USA wipe out the vietcong?
