Russia "doesn't exclude" the possibility of supporting a UN resolution against Syria

1. UN is more important than many think.

I think too many Americans fail to understand how important UN really is, maybe not to them, but to most other countries. There are lots of European leaders that would change their minds, if strong evidence were made available through UN. It doesn't matter that American agencies already believe they have strong evidence, because here (in Europe) they have close to zero credibility. In fact, even for right-wing politicians it would be a political suicide to directly refer to American sources, without having anything from either it's own country or UN. The evidence provided by Kerry might have value in America, but not elsewhere. Having an American president say "look... here is the evidence... trust us" is just an insult to many Europeans.
