I know that the US, especially under the current Administration, is often-criticized for having unilateralist tendencies, and disregarding the opinions of the international community.
With that being said, has anybody noticed that the United States has now let the United Nations deliberate for nearly two months (and counting) on its dispute with Iraq? Does anyone know if the rest of the world is giving the US credit for sticking with the multilateral approach, and engaging both its allies and the UNSC members in very long and difficult negotiations, and working towards an ultimate resolution in the United Nations that will not contain a lot of the things that the US was originally looking for?
