Nope. I'd rather the US didn't belong to the UN at all, or that it
explicitly reserved its security prerogatives to itself, period. The
Bush administration didn't withdraw the US from the UN or simply
proclaim from the start that it would be the judge of its own security
requirements. Instead, it spun the war as an enforcement mechanism for
UN resolutions, then threw a hissy when the body it claimed to be
acting on behalf of rejected its spin, and then did what it wanted to
do anyway, and then screamed for the UN to bail it out when it
couldn't secure Iraq after the invasion.
