You may want to take a closer look:

And pick up a copy of Why Peacekeeping Fails, by Dennis Jett, a former U.S. ambassador to Peru and Mozambique who also worked in U.S. embassies in Argentina, Israel, Malawi, and Liberia.
Excerpt:
The most recently launched peacekeeping missions will therefore fail, because U.N. peacekeeping has become a way for rich countries to send the soldiers of poor countries to deal with conflicts the rich countries do not care all that much about. The fundamental problem is that there is no peace to keep, and U.N. forces are incapable of imposing one because they are peacekeepers and not warfighters. If the international community wants to try to impose a peace, it should send troops that are capable and willing to do that.
The United Nations is largely irrelevant to the world’s biggest problems. When push comes to shove, it’s an impotent debating society that fails to pay its parking tickets.
Operative word: "Irrelevant".
Life is too short to waste on crap football.
