We fight almost the same way everytime.... We freed Kuwait, we stopped Milosevic, we freed Afghanistan, we freed the Iraq'i people.... There is a pattern, and it's not hard to see.
Kuwait was freed in 1991 NOT ONLY by US but also by UK, France, etc.
You don't stop Milosevic alone (have you heard about Dayton agreement)
Yes you have freed Afganistan but look at what this country is now. The people need everything. US came, put the talisban away and go back.
The UK have also freed Iraquis people but this is only one battle the war is not finish. All iraquis are armed, there is a lot of "Ali Baba", they need food, medecine, work, etc.

the UN is not a democracy, and probably never will be. A democracy means by definition that the majority vote wins.
That's no true. Here is the definition (found Here
democracy [dı'mɒkrəsı]
noun
(plural: -cies)
1 government by the people or their elected representatives
2 a political or social unit governed ultimately by all its members
3 the practice or spirit of social equality
4 a social condition of classlessness and equality
5 the common people, esp. as a political force
[ETYMOLOGY: 16th Century: from French démocratie, from Late Latin democratia, from Greek demokratia government by the people; see demo-, -cracy]
They never said that the majority win. UN IS a democracy because there is a vote of ALL his members. The only thing is that there is 5 permanents members and 10 are elected every 2 years. To adopt a resolution ALL THE 5 permanents MUST BE AGREE. Like all others democracies there is rules.
