[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does the US pay 1/5 of UN budget?[/quote] If you are asking the number, it is based on GDP and other economic factors that determine ability to pay. If you are asking why we bother, I guess you would have to ask why we seek its backing on so many international issues, from peacekeeping to sanctions to support for the first Gulf War to the final ultimatum leading up to the second gulf war. When we have the UN behind us, we have legitimacy that does not come from going our own way. If we didn't believe in it, we wouldn't be citing UN resolutions so often. [/quote]
