I'm saying that there are terrorist organizations all over this planet. If there really is a way to "win" the war on terror, I'm certain that it will require support from other countries.
Consider Afghanistan... I can't recall a single country that did not support our right to go there, remove the Taliban government, and hunt the Al-Qaeda. Righteousness was on our side.
We don't have that same sense of righteousness... and I wish we had it.
By turning our backs on the U.N., can we expect non-coerced support from other countries? IMHO, the terrorist organizations will benefit from the lack of support from the members of the U.N. and it is our fault, not theirs, for failing to convince them.
