I have to agree. While I believe the UN to be a corrupt collection of former world powers who basically use their organization as a means to keep political and economic influence, the rest of the world views them as some sort of altruistic authority. In short, if the US has the UN behind them the rest of the world won't be able to continue to bitch and moan about how evil the US is.

Cut in the UN on some of the action, and watch France, Russia and Germany suddenly get behind us. Its a horrible thought to me to reward the UN for basically looking the other way on Iraq while collecting billions in cladestine Oil for Food profits, but at this point I think its a necessary evil.
