This must be fixed soon as rapid tire wear is likely.
You will need a wheel alignment, but first take a look underneath the front end. There is likely a bent tie rod or drag link. Replace anything bent, then shake the tire back and forth, and check for looseness of any joints. Replace any loose joint that you see.
Now take it in for a wheel alignment.

Not sure why it's that way but this is very common and very easily fixed. Click the link below and it will demonstrate (on page 2 I believe - but read the whole thing!) how to correct this.
You should also browse that website and the other link (jeepfourm.com) for more information then you'll ever need on Jeeps...!
EDIT: p.s. If you can turn a wrench at all you can fix this yourself (ok - you and a friend can fix it easier but you can do it yourself) no reason to spend money on an alignment.

If the Jeep goes straight when you let loose of the wheel, somebody probably just put the steering wheel on wrong. If it doesn't, you have something wrong that could get worse fast. Steering doesn't just get out of alignment for no reason. Only because you bent something or a part is badly worn.

You need a wheel alignment. It happens when you, well, take you Jeep to places where only Jeeps can go! Or when you hit a lot of pot holes.

Get an "Alignment" for the dealer or a tire place.
