by their votes shall ye know them....
Most U.N. Member States have records of voting against the U.S.
Snopes concludes: "U.N. votes on resolutions are frequently lopsided, pitting a single nation or a handful of nations against all the others, and more often than not, the U.S. is the one nation at odds with the rest of the world. Of the 83 resolutions we surveyed for our informal tally, in ten cases the U.S. was the only Member State to vote against the resolution."
Snopes concludes: "So it isn't just the Arab/Islamic states who consistently vote against the U.S. in the U.N. -- pretty much the rest of the world does, too."
