There are many in the US who view the UN as a socialistic immoral organization. They resent any initiative which opposes the US view. The reason why of course is because the US position is always correct and righteous. Therefore, if the majority does not go along, rather than being viewed as a judgement against the US, it will strengthen the idea that the UN just doesn't work and should be abolished in US eyes. The brutal fact is that the UN is dominated by the security council, members of which have a veto on anything they might propose, which makes that organization toothless and useless. It does no good to criticize a righteous act so the UN has no choice but to go along to get along.
