The UN (And LofN before that) has been looking for USA support for 80 years and for the majority of those 80 years they have not got it. YET the Right in America is all too quick to show why the UN does not work and how they should never co-operate with it. Maybe, just maybe if the 'greatest nation on earth' and the 'United Nations' teamed up something better then eithers individual contribution could be attained?
Instead America wants their way ALL the time and because the UN does not offer that they pick at it and pick at it... I am saying that America is SO GREAT that if they actually co-operated for once and shared the playground an overall better and legitimate (<key) result could take place. In fact to argue that the UN has failed is to argue that the USA has failed because if they chose to do so the UN could be the single greatest unifying institution on earth. Unfortunately for the world the USA has never ever liked unifying institutions....
I am in no way implying America is not a great and powerful nation, i am saying that if their right-wing theorists held themselves to the same threshold of behavior that they do the rest of the world not only would America garner a lot more respect (what with not being constant hypocrites) but would make a much larger and legitimate (<still key) dent in the worlds problems to the benefit of all...
