I am not about to whitewash the UN. But in the process of not doing that, I also will not whitewash the USA.

The cost to my country's refusal to participate without UN sanction has been an economically depressed cattle industry. We have paid a high dollar price. Most of us will be a long time forgetting that.

So while I agree with some of your sentiments with regard to the UN and its shenanigans, it does not make the US cops of the world, and nor does it make me appreciate its tactics with my country.
