Granted, the US is not perfect, but do you honestly believe that we are as bad as the countries John mentioned? > The UN has not been a "completely discredited body".

Perhaps they care more about scoring a small victory against the US than they care about our security. They can score that victory by vetoing the UN Resolution giving us permission to invade Iraq. So, the UN could be discredited as an active body that can do more than the League of Nations debating society, but they could still use the UN to score that victory against the US. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
