Seriously, aren't the UN diplomats supposed to be adults? If so, then why are they always trying to get permission as if they were little children? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

To do this the UN would need the support of several countries, even smaller ones. Problem is that the US gives quite alot of financial aid to many small countries and would, logically, withdraw that aid if those countries went against the interrest of the US. Not´a fun situation to be in for small economies.
Also don't forget that the US have veto in the Security Counsil and can stop any decision that goes against the US's interrests.
Personally I think it would be a very unfortunate situation if the US and the UN wouldn't get along at all. The US is one of the founding nations and has been an active member from the very beginning. The UN headquarter lies in America for crying it out loud.
