And it's not just the "heartland" who hates the U.N. I worked for 13 years in an organization with close ties to the U.N., lived half a block from its NY headquarters and in apartment building filled with U.N. employees. It is a sex-harassing, support staff-harassing, third world sewer. That being said, its cafeteria was nice.
The Canadians are learning about the UN as well. In this case a Canadian lay bleeding to death while UN peacekeepers took pictures of him in Haiti.

From talking to the Brits I know they don't appear to have any great love for the UN either.
