As a Canadian, I can attest that our troops sent on 'peace-keeping' missions were not allowed to do anything but witness the atrocities -- it is a way to keep Canada and other countries from ever actually picking a side and fighting for it (Canadians do not have control of their own military -- we go where we are told). Instead we watch women and children raped and burned with our blue helmets on. The UN is not what you think -- its power is used to 'regulate' wars, not to 'keep the peace.' I do believe the goal is to subvert each member nation's military power and to make it beholden to UN command (communist Russia commands UN troops). The UN has never backed the US in any military action, and in fact has subverted any effort to win wars in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, anywhere. The goal is world government with a world military more powerful than any single country -- this will inevitably mean the oppression of all the world. But don't worry, wars are good business, and the UN will make sure there will always be a war somewhere in order to justify their 'peace-keeping' missions -- more like 'war-keepers' if you ask me.
