"As Bill Clinton and Madame Albright liked to say – the United Nations is there to further the best interests – of US foreign policy. However, to be fair, other States undoubtedly see it much the same way, but are more discrete and lack ambitions and military capacity for global empire! And now we have President Obama, who wants to work with the United Nations and be a player rather than to dominate and control. Sounds good.
