I guess the US hasn't had as much practice in "new-colonialism" as France has had at intervening in African affairs? That's why Iraq is such a good topic of discussion but Cote d'Ivorie is not?
Regardless, you began with defense rather than anger or even quiet.

The way I recall it, the UN did take a stand. Against the US. They did so even though it is hardly ever in anybody's best interests to take a stand against the US. Bad for health. That must be what made them wrong in american eyes. Anyway, acceptable behavior is defined by the UN, not the US.

Yea, the UN took a stand against the US in the same way it took a stand against Iraq. "US, you are very, very bad! You are so bad we say "niche" in your face! We fart in your general direction!" At least the UN didn't throw one their horrible sanctions at us. Heaven forbid.
Acceptable behavior may be defined by the UN, but it is enforced, when it is enforced, by the US.
