And what is the member status of those states again? Do they matter? Does anybody on the UN give them more than token attention? NO! Why? Because the UN realizes they're as nutty as they really are, too! However, the UN does allow everybody to have their say. It doesn't mean the UN is going to listen to them. That being said, since it's creation, the UN has sided with the US more often than not. And why shouldn't they? They're headquartered in New York City, for crying out loud, and founded largely with our historic ideals. You're going to have to convince me the UN has lost it's way, since it seems more like they're reminding us of who we are and what we expect from the rest of the world. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): baloo@ursine.ca
