Is the US acting as a sole superpower by snubbing UN? Post your views

Baghdad: United States President George W Bush made a surprise visit to American troops in Baghdad today (November 27), flying secretly to violence-scarred Iraq to thank US forces for serving there.


> The plane stopped at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, outside Washington, to pick up a few aides and four reporters and a camera crew sworn to secrecy. Five photographers and another reporter accompanied him from Texas after being summoned just hours before his departure.

Bush spent about two and half-hours on the ground, limiting his visit to the airport dinner with US forces.
