"The U.N. can be an important partner," Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told the Senate Armed Services Committee. But as if to damn with faint praise, he quickly added that he hoped the international organization could play "a much more positive role in the future" than it has in the past. "And I think there's reason to think that it can and will," Wolfowitz went on. "But it can't -- it can't be the managing partner. It can't be in charge..."
The U.S. firmly and repeatedly points out that Saddam Hussein defied "the will of the United Nations," but it does a horrible job of hiding the fact that it doesn't give a flip about the U.N., either.

Isreal has broken all Un resolutions forever. When do we invade them?
