If the UN as an organization didnt uphold its side of the deal - fair and objective arbitration - why is the US obligated to uphold its side. Any CEO would tell you thats just bad business.
If the US feels the UN has failed to live up to its obligations, it should withdraw from the charter. One should note, however, that the US has been the primary obstacle to many of the UN's most daring initiatives in the last few years (The War Crimes Tribunal, the Kyoto Accords, the landmine ban, etc.)
