Given how the ISS has gone, I'd say internationally building a lunar lander is a BAAAAD idea.
Hell, it's not like we'd have to start from scratch. For a even a month-long mission on the lunar surface, most of the components could be "off the shelf" tech, with minor modifications.
This bears the stink of globalist politickin', methinks.
