To be effective, the U.N. needs the support and co-operation of the United States. Unfortunately, the U.S. is more interested in unilateral power. They have also managed to deploy the military might of several other member nations.

Its a matter of priorities and the U.N. cannot go it alone. Any action in Darfur must be supported by all member nations. If they are in Iraq fighting the Bush war, how can they help in Darfur?
