Yes, I am afraid they see the Bush administration as a pit bull that has slipped its leash.

To work another metaphor, they see us as the monster and themselves as Dr. Frankenstein whose duty it is to control their brawny but childlike tool. Their means of control was to be the UN and NATO but we have slippped those leashes.

If we have any sense we will not docilly put the UN leash back on for the occupaption of Irak but we will instead reward our friends and punish our enemies, while we do good for the Iraqi people. Let the liberals call that "imperialism" but it something the world needs a good dose of.

I absolutely agree-- the "occupied territories" has basically been run by the U.N. for what, 35 years? Since the '67 war? I'm not sure, but I know that it's been long enough that the U.N. has a HUGE vested stake in NOT getting to a solution to the problem. The same has been true for Iraq, to a lesser degree-- running the "Oil for Food" program has been a huge boondogle since the first Gulf War.
