Ahhhh, here we go. After speaking out against Israel's declarations to expel or kill Arafat, we have yet another instance of the U.S. being the lone member to side with Israel and vote down a U.N. resolution. I'm not saying that countries can't stick with their allies, but we have a long history of showing our favortism in Middle East affairs. Favortism is kind of a bad thing when you're trying to be an intermediary for peace. I've posted this link before entailing our dealings with Israel-related U.N. resolutions and the U.S. being the lone naysayer, but here it is again.
