Personally, I dont post here much in the political threads because the signal to noise ratio is so low. And there are days when I mistake it for DU...

You neglect the facts. We have a veto over anything the UN does, in the security council. They have no "jurisdiction" over us. We can't force them to do anything either. It is a body that requires wide spread agreement among the great powers in order to act. Its not perfect, but its what we have. If we had listened to their objections about our invasion of Iraq, we would not be in the mess we are in today.
Most the anti-UN stuff I here seems based in some kind of urban legend stuff
