5. When its in your backyard and you have the resources, the right thing to do is step up
The UN will get there eventually, but will never have the ready reaction capability of the US or other major nations

The issue of control is actually where the UN could do some good. Developing standard plans that could be implemented so there would be an outline of what the roles on the ground are would be a good thing. It already exists for SAR and other areas.
