I was agreeing right up until here
<<What I believe is that if the UN is a failed institution, the blame is our own,>>
WHY IS EVERYTHING OUR FAULT?

LOL...everything is not our fault. But if you read the rest of what I had to say about the UN you would see that I clearly tell you why I think we were at fault:

What I believe is that if the UN is a failed institution, the blame is our own, as we wield incredible power in the institution and incredible influence in the world. The fact that we could not garner the support of nations in the war on Iraq should have told us something about the message we were delivering to the other nations. This administration made it clear that the UN was inconsequential to the final decision. When confronted with that rhetoric which nation wishes to support us? Not many.


It is just as likely that our message was being rebuffed due to hidden agendas.
