ABSTRACT
In effect, the foreign beneficiaries of America's national efforts, at least the solvent ones, are told to raise their contributions to the incidental costs of keeping stability and peace in a new world order. Of course, the savings from this transfer of the global burden, from America's back to the shoulders of the United Nations, are supposed to accrue to the US domestic budget, while the goals of American foreign policy are achieved anyway. In this, the author concerns the realities that, barring the intervention of cataclysmic events, such as world revolution and a world war, will perpetuate the impotence of the UN and preclude its transformation into a New World Order purged of power politics. The author believes that the alleged internationalism in fact equals isolationism by another name. By a stroke of semantic magic, international cooperation under the mantle of the United Nations is supposed to relieve the United States of the burden of its unilateral commitments.
