This has caused US many problems both at home and abroad over the years.

Again, Ronn, we can debate until the sun sets and not come to an agreement. I understand and respect your views but I don't share them. The US will only operate under the UN when it satisfies their own interests (just like any other nation on this Earth). In my views, the USA seems to always jump to the gun way to early to solve their problem. That's my opinion. Is it right, is it wrong, who knows! The important thing is to realise that if the USA didn't do the things that it did, our world would be much different... and probably not in a good way (especially during the Cold War).
