I'm not sure what the UN is waiting for. There have been few situations that scream out for UN control more than the current Afghanistan situation. However, I have little confidence since during this entire war it has demonstrated just how castrated an orgainzation it is. Sometimes circumstances just roll out the red carpet, right up to your door and all you have to do is walk out. Right now the UN is still on the couch yelling for someone else to get the door. Just too lazy; inept; scared; paralyzed. Take your pick from any of these or other pejorative adjectives. They just one the Nobel Peace Prize, now they have a chance to earn that award.
