text: iranian development issue? does anyone else feel the united states should stay out and let the united nations handle the iranian nuclear development problem and not spearhead any military action...afterall, we already are trying to take on too much already. the united nations has proven itself to be just another useless international bureaucracy.  the only proof you need are it's impotent positions on the post-desert storm resolutions imposed on the iraqi regime and, hand-in-hand with it, the woefully inept handling of the iraq oil-for-food program (we'll leave the bribery and sex scandals out of this answer).  as far as the military taking on too much,... i think it's probably best to leave that decision to the joint chiefs of staff, as they have vastly more experience than you or i in such matters...
