Well, I'm always keen on jumping on the bandwagon of anything which discredits the United Nations, but I am a little puzzled why you blame the US.

Let me get the logic straight. The US is to blame for not solving the problems in another country? Right. And if my neighbor beats up his wife I am to blame right? It's not my neighbors fault for beating up his wife, it's my fault for not stopping him!

If you want to say that the US is to blame for interfering in the affairs of other countries, then we can have an intelligent debate (and I may be more sympathetic to the view that you expect), but blaming A for not stopping what B does to C is just silly. People are responsible for their own actions - not the actions of other people.

Society is not to blame, OK?
