When U.S. involvement does not favor them then they condemn it. This is not a selective process for the U.S. We are not going to be a nation that only steps in when conforms to what other people want and then act like nothing is wrong when we are directly affected. The world can hate us all they want because when they need us they will come back asking that we help. (The French being the best example of this) The U.N. is doing what it has always done, stick its nose where it doesn’t need to and ignore the problems that it needs to focus on.

If the US can afford to spend $X Billion on a war, they can easily afford to give more to those really in need. I’m sorry but I agree with the UN.
