They want to go build a secret telescope to hide the evil planet of doom

The last thing we need is to get involved in another ill defined shooting war.

Yes, and civil wars are very ill defined plus there are the cross border problems which complicate it even more.

So using the same reasoning why did the US ask for the global community to fight terrorism together?

Castout, the global war on terror has drained the US, they simply cannot afford another open ended deployment.
What is needed is strong action by the UN, but that isn't going to happen until the big 5 have worked out who they think is going to be the winners to back and what contracts they think they can get out of the winner, that will drag on and on until al 5 are reasonably happy about what they think they are going to get out of it.
If they don't all agree that their favourite is on to a winner and they are going to benefit then you will end up with the all too frequent weak gesture a few weeks or months down the line.
