How is it "our part"? What has the UN done for us except take? Honestly I get a little upset at all the foriegn aid the US pays out to defunct countries. We should expect them to get their acts together if they want to get money.
I don't believe that we're walking all over other nations (unless they truly are threats such as Iraq). The US is behind on payments to the UN *BUT* we are charged far more than any other member. Definitely not a one-sided argument here.
And why should a country not put its own interests first? That would seem to be in the best interest of the people that pay the taxes of that country...
