That sounds like part of it to me.

What's currently happening in Sudan is awful, but there are not tens of thousands of people dying every day. The death toll is believed to be about 10 thousand per week. Of course, that is 10 thousand too many, but it's kind of like saying the Nazis were bad because they killed 2 billion jews. It's just silly.
And i love this attitude that some Americans seem to have about how useless the UN is. Anyone remember the petty arguements about the colour choice for the APCs and who would pay for them during the Rwandan genocide? The US was one of the countries involved in that shit while people were being slaughtered with machettes at a faster rate than the Nazis were able to kill the jews.
The US has contributed to the UN's uselessness on plenty of occassions.
