MRL180YTL2002 is an unknown quantity at this point
The U.N. was chartered to solve conflicts peacefully through negotiations....peacekeepers would be sent to ensure the measures were carried out peacefully. Now being the policeman in the world, when there's a problem....nations turn to the U.S. as we have a greater number of both natural and financial resources to handle different situations. Yes, countries like Russia are wealthy with natural resources but they do not have the capital to use them, much less do anything these days. This policeman of the world is partly due to the fault of foreign policy, a lot of resentment is due to actions like supporting Israel amongst many things and in Iraq, it also involves OIL. Little things that drive the global economy. Iraq cannot export oil...if you take it over, to rebuild it, start making money off of producing oil. It really does come down to this. Playing policeman of the world takes its toll on our Military personnel. Morale stinks....for example thanks to the Iraq issue the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln CVBG (Carrier Battle Group...one CVN/CV, 2 CGs, 2-3 DDG, 2-3 DDs, 2-4 FFG's....look at world navies today- website, don't know actual link) was at the end of a deployment, well guess what, they were ordered to stay in region. It must bite because I don't know about you but after 6 months at sea, I'd definately want to see my family.
