The only reason this is true, a8a, is because America was retardedly convinced that we HAD to go to war IMMEDIATLY, and just couldn't sit tight and wait to get some fucking results. Bush was like a kid jumping around because he had to take a piss. It was ridiculous.
I think the UN should function as a world mentor, someone who steps in and says "HEY! Okay, someone punched you in the face. Are you SURE it was Billy? Or was it Chris? Or did you just trip and fall?" You know, stuff that calms everyone down and slows down or halts a decision that causes mass loss of lives.
