http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=unilateralism
A tendency of nations to conduct their foreign affairs individualistically, characterized by minimal consultation and involvement with other nations, even their allies.

That is literal definition of "unilateralism". Or should i take your definition over dictionarys?
I very well know what you mean by disecting and explaining word, but we are talking about politicks and definiton i provided fits that.

Sure science fits the description, but the point is that wanting to pay for a science project alone (or in this case with 3 of the 6 commitee memebers) is different from starting a war alone.
Look at definiton provided by dictionary and explain how exactly does it fit it? Unless you would like to claim sience is a "foreing affair"?
