If the UN has trouble stopping a civil war in Africa, do you think they could stop two superpowers?

Well, I meant if the US were to be "defeated" it would certainly most likely have to come from the inside. I'm not suggesting there is any internal strife going on right now (it is peaceful now within US borders, in terms of civil matters...). Externally (from outside influence, i.e. militarily), I don't think the US will be defeated.

Heh good point. Come to think of it, the UN is really just the US considering the US foots almost 70-80% of the funding plus they even volunteered their own soil to have the UN HQ built upon. I seriously think the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan, is useless. He sure talks a lot but as to doing anything (even about the civil wars in his own native lands), he does so little.

I'd rather it was called the UN but just somewhere else besides in the US.

I think the other only method is to make The US attack a hostile country which the US troops are not very familiar with the terrain. And force them onto a bitter war! Wad about forcing them to go into Africa and attack, say, somalia, and pin their forces there! But first, there must be a huge concentration of foreign troops to help the Somalians! Then force then to fight a war.

First, the cruise missiles and B-52 saturation bombing makes the forest look like the desert. Then with FLIR and night vision optics,which work best in the cold, the enemy stands out like day.
