Also i am saying how america made a promise to keep the world safe yet you insult it and yourself by calling it useless therefore calling yourself stupid.
I'd say that most politicians being ex military is the exception not the rule. In Britain that's only because they all went through National Service. The UN isn't made up of politicians, it's made up of appointed ambassadors; often these are career beurocrats. They also do not understand that UN missions are not all like the Golan Heights or Cyprus. Troops on UN missions do not simply patrol green lines seperating factionsl; they are often involved in the three block war; just with their hands tied.
The legality of the American invasion of Iraq isn't the point here Ezekial. If your going to ask why the UN pulled out of Rwanda; don't make it about the Iraqi Invasion. The UN troops pulled out because there was nothing they could do. They sat in compounds because the people in charge couldn't accept the idea of soldiers using weapons to dissolve a conflict; and it's crap. UN peace keepers are often under strickter ROE's then municipal police; yet their expected to provide security for the area and enforce stabilty.
