The UN's solves problems for law abiding nations...
Would you get rid of the police force because crimes happen...
Does the UN deserve more support? Yes. Do countries act irresponable? Yes.. But without the UN we would have 95% of the countries involved in disputes with there neighbours...
By the way you have not commented on other areas like
UNICEF
Human rights
Nuclear weapons
Arms dealing
Disaster relief
Nation building
Election monitoring
Climate Change
Landmines
Human trafficing
....
Un Troop deployments are just a small part the UN mandate

What about The WHO and that whole eradicating smallpox thing. You know... getting rid of that horrible plague that decimated mankind for centuries. Seems like an accomplishment to me. But I guess one doesn't notice because people forget about non-threats that don't kill everyone anymore.
Can we give a kudos to the UN for that?
