The UN didn't need to send in peacekeepers because there was absolutely NO REASON to do so. For all intents and purposes the UN was given free reign over Iraq. Just because they couldn't find something that didn't exist, doesn't mean that they failed.
Iraq also wasn't supporting al queda. Iraq is also nowhere near a stable democracy right now in the way that was sold to everyone before the war. On absolutely every point, the war was absolutely POINTLESS, and in fact as we are seeing now, may be causing more harm than good.
As for the Democrats, the President dictates how the war is run as he is the commander in chief. While congress may pass a bill to stop funding the war to force the president's hand, the president can still veto that. The democrats do not control enough of a majority to override the veto. Besides do you seriously think anyone is going to stop "funding the troops" and actually win another election?
And yes, the people elect the leadership... the people really dropped the ball on this one!
Just because you choose to ignore all recommendations and solutions presented, doesn't mean that there are none. You say that we should just trust the leadership because absolutely everyone else is just whining with no real solutions. I point out things which were given as solutions, you reject them. It's okay that you reject them, but the fact that solutions WERE given and not used shows that your very point that everyone is just whining is absolutely and completely false.
The solution is simple, pull out of Iraq. Bush doesn't want to do that. But I guess everyone who says 'let's pull out of Iraq' are just whiners with no real idea about anything right?
