Also, you're not quite right that only one country has the necessary resources to take it on as a "leader". As with so much in the world, a co-operative effort is more effective.

Come on Maurice.. The UN couldn't even manage to deploy and support peacekeepers to East Timor without US transport and logistical support.

No other western nation, outside of Russia, has the kind of logistical capability the US possesses. No other nation has the ability to project and sustain military power like the US.

When one arises, I'd be more than willing to see them take the forefront on UN peacekeeping missions.

Will you be using any NZ aromatic weapons to "smoke out" the terrorists?
