The rest of the world against America is a seriously massive force. The immense weight the rest of the UN is able to throw back at America is seriously underrated and grossly underestimated by Bush.
If it is discovered that the war in Iraq was something far more sinister than it appears, I fear that a world war against the US could start up - if that did happen then America would be doomed to become a nation of ashes, since it doesn't come even close to being able to match the forces of Earth.
Israel alone are a seriously MASSIVE threat to the US, add to that the, bluntly put, frightening power of the French airforce and FFL. Plus the immense Japanese army, quite frankly worrying power of the ageing Russian navy, and you have one world army of an apocalyptic power.
The US is most definately NOT anywhere near above UN durisdiction, in fact it's very much at the mercy of a world that has a gun pointed to its head. The US may not be seeking a permission slip to defend its nation, but it's currently doing no defending. In fact, quite the opposite.
