We all know the U.N. serves a purpose...when people around the world need food, medicine, or education, the U.N. is who should spear-head the efforts, but when it comes to putting the world’s foot down for freedom, we know that the only thing that will get done what needs to be done is a U.S.-led military force.
A great example can be seen in the U.N.-led Bosnian campaign. In Sarajevo in 1995, U.N.-led Dutch “peacekeepers” sat idly by while over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were rounded up by Serbs and massacred in a U.N.-declared “safe zone.”
Families are suing the Dutch and the U.N. for compensation, but they should have had their protection in the first place, especially in a U.N. “safe zone!”
For all that we are going through in Iraq, I shudder at where democracy in Iraq would be if we had let the U.N. handle Saddam. I cannot see how any American cannot look at the situation and not see the benefit of a U.S.-led force over a U.N.-led force.
As the Bush Administration works to hand a democratic government over to the Iraqi people, we must be resolute in our support of our troops and bringing democracy to America.
What would have happened if we’d have given up and the world had given up on us when we were fighting to bring democracy to the new world?
