With regard to the Washington Hat view, it also gives our detractors a forum in which to denounce us, which it seems to me they do with some regularity.  From what I read the UN is also extremely inefficient, with an awful lot of our taxpayer dollars going to support UN "diplomats" who draw hefty salaries yet do little to nothing over the long term.  Someone needs to look objectively at what we get from participation and what we pay for that "privilege".  Maybe since China and others are nearing equality with us in their ability to fund the UN, we should at least reduce our ante and thus let them know that soaking us is not taken for granted.
