the United Nations has five nations that can veto any resolution that the majority of the U.N. members agreed upon. The countries with this veto power are China, France, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. These countries have this power because they were the founding countries of the United Nations that wrote the rules for the U.N. after World War 2. Unfortunately, this non-democracy fails for several reasons. First, only a true democracy among nations is unbiased and fair. Thus, the complete structure of the U.N. needs a major overhaul. This too is not likely to happen, since the countries with vetoing power are unlikely to unanimously agree to give up this right for fairness sake.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Ironic that the UN prides itself on democracy, and the propogation of democratic values, yet it stifles democracy through vetoing.

I'm summoning Gov. Piyush post haste to perform an exorcism on that lectern used by Dubya at his U.N speech and referred to so eloquently by Hugo the day after as smelling of sulfur. Surely that lectern is possessed by El Diablo. :

Counsel...seems a sure sign that you are running out of materials because you are now recycling these videos.
Piyush struck a chord, I see. Live and let live man.
