Here is a scenario that I've frequently seen at various Model UN conferences in the past:
--Delegate representing the USA goes up to speak--
"The United States of America strongly opposes (enter resolution number here) for these reasons. We believe that the sanctity of democracy and global economic stimulation are not going to be met if this resolution passes. (and so on...)"
--Next unmoderated caucus an overwhelming amount of countries swoon to the US delegate in an effort to contest the speech--
