If the UN took over the administration of Iraq, in a few years, the Shiite Muslims and the Kurds in the North would be wiped out, and a regime far worse than Saddam would be in place.

I consider the UN more of a dangerous threat to Democracy, than irrelevant. The UN, to me, is similar to the mafia. They take in hundreds of millions of dollars, and most of it goes into a deep hole, or to terrorists.
