It's a good question yonif, for I have pounded my head against the nearest wall too long, from the time Jean Kirkpatrick left the seat as our reperesentative.
I do (for the first time) however, see a President that is finally standing up to the UN and questioning their relevence. You may disagree with my opinion but since Dubya' has been in office he has professed their irrelievance without swinging a stick in anger.
