"Confronted with ever-expanding threats of terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and a global AIDS crisis, the UN does not have the resources--or the internal consensus--to work alone. It needs the United States. And the United States needs the UN as well. The disintegration of postwar Iraq has shown that Washington, for all its sole-superpower status, can win the war militarily only to find itself losing the peace. Even the most unilateralist White House in decades has begun to see that reality. Can the two institutions, as currently constituted, work together? It won't be easy." (AMERICAN PROSPECT) The author describes how the United Nations could be more effective using Iraq and other conflict zones as examples.
