The UN and it's various members hate the US because we won't just go away and let them 'feel good' about what they do [don't do]. We have the audacity of making them see things like torture, murder, starvation and won't let them just play with all that money and pat each other on the back about what good guys they are!
I agree with you Ruth, but I'd add this. The U.N. hates the United States because it is the 'only' nation on the planet that is powerful enough to overpower it's decisions. The U.N. wants to be the global governance body of the planet, and they've been waging an effort for decades to make it happen.
Ruth, don't let anyone kid you, they are making it happen. Stand up against the U.N. and any of our elected officials who by open agreement, or by clandestine subtrifuge assist the U.N. in attaining it's goals.
Kyoto, Biosphere Preserves, international trade agreements, open borders, international bodies of governance, NGOs, UNICEF, these are all measures utilized by the U.N. to take self-determination out of the hands of U.S. citizens.
Take care.
