DC, the only "minority" president the US has ever had is JFK. His "minority" status was his religion.

That should really tell you something. If it doesn't, maybe your world is just a wee bit too homogenous.

As to the UN "making" nations "obey" the charter, resolutions, etc...

Diplomacy isn't the equivalent of brute force, but an alternative to it. That seems to be a big disconnect for most Americans. World dominance through physical force is NOT the mission of the UN!

It seems it is mostly Americans who suffer from that delusional mindset when it comes to international diplomacy and the mission of international diplomatic organizations like the UN. I guess most Americans just can't wrap their heads around the worldview of most of the earth's citizenry, because our nation's military and economic strength makes us the world bully.
