Default Re: US to leave the UN?

Not even close to the flip side. There are specific instances of terrorist attacks being planned and thwarted. Where has the UN had a presence where it can be claimed that they prevented impending genocide/mass slaughter?

Bosnia. Yes I'm aware of Srebrenica. However, the Serbs could have easily won that war outright and depopulated Sarajevo without the presence of UN peacekeepers and UN sanctions. UN peacekeepers remain on the job to this day. I was tempted to throw the latest Lebanon war in, but there was little chance of Israel engaging in genocide there.

Was it in Bosnia that the the U.S. and NATO acted without the U.N., or did that occur in the other place over there---or was it in both places? Sorry but I get the two mixed up a bit; thanks for any elaboration.
