Unless you forgot, the Bush administration stuck a stake in the heart of the United Nations when it attacked Iraq. The United Nations now needs to be overhauled before it will have any credibility and the overhaul has to begin with the US making it painfully clear that it's policy of pre-emption is a thing of the past. Either the US is going to be a partner and obey international law or it isn't. Can't have it both ways and as long as it isn't then forget the UN as a body that negiotiate or mediate a danged thing....
