| The UN does not have an Army and it was never intended to have an army. It was the perversion of the UN that led to the "UN" forces in Korea in the 50's. The US has always tried to use the UN as an international body to sanction its own interests. Until the UN has its own standing army it will wield no power. In Rwanda nothing happened because it is too easy to tank any good intentions with one vote in the security council and poof nothing is done. It is assinine to blame the UN for this. The UN is a collective and blaming the UN is an attempt to try and divert blame from one's own country and alleviate the collective guilt for letting crap like the massacres in the third world that developed nations turn a blind eye towards.
