Possibly it is because they are incapable of thinking for themselves, and assume that everyone else is the same way. There does seem to be a lot of that going around. The other day I read an item in which the author said...~"That's a role for the UN, it shouldn't be born by US taxpayers." You pause for a moment ... And where does the money get it's money [resources] from? The members of the UN; either dues or what the UN can beg or borrow from donor countries. The resources provided are almost certainly going to reflect who has the discretionary resources to donate or loan. The US is going to be one of those donor countries; the US gets it's money from the US taxpayer. Do you say something? Maybe, maybe not. jttmab
