The UN? Why? They are a bigger fawkup than most anything. When they want some military force, they will know how to call on some idiot with the muscle. But lets say we do it your way for the sake or arguement. Those are other nations out there that are going to decide our direction. So, would you trust them to direct things and be as fair as you about it? IOW, whose interests would they serve first? Their's or ours? Who are they answerable to? Our voters or their own? With that answer in mind, why would we trust them?
Please reread Little Red Riding Hood. You will see a lot of parallels between you and her. The evil wolf wants to kill people but the good and gentle woodcutter (the UN) will come along and solve your problems and quietly disappear with no wants of his own. When you are past that, I will direct you to a few spook movies where the children summon the devil to do their bidding and then wonder why the devil doesn't simply go away, having done it's job.
