The United Nations
This chapter examines the US's complex relationship with the UN. The Bush Doctrine represented a threat to certain principles held by the UN -- non-aggression & respect for another nation's sovereignty -- & created a fraught relationship in which negative opinions of the US war in Iraq were expressed; however, the author also discusses the increased working relationship between the US & the UN since 9/11. For instance, the Iraq war has caused the Bush administration to rethink the value of the UN & multilateralism. D. Miller
