i think everything relies on people deciding what the UN really is.

is it a governing power?

which is an idea that causes most americans to choke.

or is it simply an arbitration board that also works on some humanitarian projects?

which most americans support

one of the problems is that people involved with the UN (good ol' Kofi) feel it is a governing power with the ability to dictate what other nations do, while others feel it is a useful tool to maintain a measure of stability on the global scene.
