All the I told you so's and a lack of willingness to help indicates much of the UN is quite happy to let the US suffer for snubbing it despite overwhelming evidence Iraqis suffered greatly under failed UN (and formerly US) policies.
revenge is hardly an altruistic motive. Just because the US is finding it tough to handle the task it took on does not mean the task was wrong. The lack of help after the fact suggests waiting for UN help is pretty much a worthless goal. The damage is not primarily the US's doing, but rather a result of UN sanctions, neglect, self inflicted sabatoge, and ill conceived Iraqi wars. Expecting the Us to clean up its own mess is fine. Expecting it to bear the whole load of past UN actions and inactivity is not.
see ya
