I get the feeling this is just part of a more general assault on the UN. The US has never been comfortable with the UN and the UN has suffered because of that attitude. Using the UN as an excuse to invade Iraq ,in many circles, gave the UN too much credibility. Recently you may have noticed Dore Gold on a book tour(paling it up with Jon Stewart), between 1997 and 1999, Gold served as Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations and is now pushing his book 'Tower of Babble: How the United Nations Has Fueled Global Chaos.' erm, it's all a big conspiracy.
