I'm sorry, but the U.N. has done very little over the past fifteen years to convince me that America's safety is best left in their hands.
America's safety is best in US hands, as well as any country's safety is best in its hands.
This is why nations have principles such as national sovereignty, non interference with internal matters of sovereign states.
Once one state violates this principle, all the others can do it as well, unless an international instance tries to prevent it.
The question is: can a country with no WMDs, no connection with terrorism, a GNP 20 times smaller than the DOD budget of the world's most powerful country, years of embargo, no air superiority, UN inspections...constitute a threat to the US ?
If so, then what else can the US believe?
