I really think sometimes that one reason some people dislike the UN here is that the organization does a decent job of reminding us what hypocritical assholes we really are as a country. They are the source of so many studies that show how messed up the world is and how little we tend to do about it unless it benefits us. It is a constant reminder of our reneging on agreements.
Or they could just be paranoid. No idea.
