Well... luckily the US differs with you on that. I don't think anyone on either side of the spectrum (except extremists) would judge the UN 'failed' and 'incompetent' outright, with no redeeming values. Except, of course, for those that aren't
really aware of what the UN actually does and is.
Do you know what they do? Security is like 3% of their overall mandate. To judge them a failed organization based on your perception that they're not successful global ass-kickers seems a little simplistic.

Because THAT messenger has shown to be incompetent in every move it has made. Reminds me a lot of the League of Nations.

This is just rhetoric, there's no substance here.
If the organization is that failed, isn't the entire Western world playing the fool by actively participating in dozens of their operations, of their own volition no less! Like Canada...? Obviously you're in the minority in your opinion when considering actual state policies and actions.
