Ted I guess we disagree about the importance of and the effectivness of the UN. I never said the UN was important. And in a situation where the US is attacked I don't even want us going to the UN. Maybe as a figleaf for humanitarian intervention, but when we or are allies or our vital interests are attacked we should and can take care of business without having to go to the UN for approval. There are a number of ways to skin a cat. Clinton was smart enough to recognize that.......he used the UN as the lead. He knew it was not a powerhouse but by standing behind the UN shield, he gained a certain world credibility with lesser nations plus he took the focus off the US. It was a very subtle difference and a very effective one. It also does not require jumping in with both feet right away. Its not an American birth right to be a bull in a china closet like some would like us to think. ted
