Oh, wait none of these countries do a damn thing - they sit back and let the US take the lead and take on the debt to help the world. Maybe the US should become like these other members and do the absolute minimum - I hope we do as we DONT need the UN. U might try to argue that FRANCE does commit peace keepers to the UN but so does a host of other countries including PAKISTAN and ANGOLA as well as others - so it aint much, especially for a permanent member.
he's blunt but he's got a point! i agree w/him, the US enforces a lot around the world, we commit forces on almost every international event, were like the freaking police...and more and more we're having to take the "beats" in the bad neighborhoods
