Well at least George W Bush didn't engage in cowboy diplomacy and worked with the United Nations for once, not only that, he didn't alienate us from the rest of the world by trying to resolve this by pre-emption.
OK... I'm being a wise guy. An invasion of North Korea probably, and more accurately, very likely have escalated into a conflict with China.
However, this should demonstrate just how useless the United Nations is. It should also show people who think that UN has the stomach to back up its own resolutions that they had better face reality.
An ugly fact of life is that regimes such as North Korea exist in the world. Those regimes amount to nothing more than gangsters running a country. Unlike the United States, who respects the rule of law, the dictators of those countries feel that they are above the law. North Korean and Cuban membership in the United Nations is a joke and an insult. They use the body to regularly attack the United States, then ignore any resolution against them.
This is exactly why I say the UN is a paper tiger. And thing about paper tigers is they tend to cause more problems then they solve.
