>And your point is????

My point is that I don't mind the U.N. providing humanitarian assistance, but anything other than that and I am pretty skeptical.

>Let me assume, knowing you'll correct me if I'm wrong, that you're saying that once a failure has been demonstrated then nothing good can ever come again.

Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda. What good does the U.N. actually do?

>If that's correct, then what country or organization qualifies for the kind of work mandated to the U.N.?

For military purposes, the U.N. should have no role.
