How have we not payed our dues? We foot 25% of the operational bills, contribute more money/aid to the various operations and programs then any other country, contribute(d) troops to just about every major and minor peace keeping mission. What more could we do? And for the record the U.N. is in debt to us, the New York branch almost went under and we bailed them out. Maybe the rest of the world should step up to the plate.

Yes, this is the attitude that prevails... and an inherent problem with the UN... the stronger countries need to back it more than the weaker countries for it to have any strength. It is hard to have international legitimacy when these issues of funding and skewed participation creep in.
