Well, as said, KB, the UN would have to become stronger/more democratic, such that individual nations did not over-ride it's decisions. And further to "Like Bush when he failed to get the U.N. Security Council's approval to invade Iraq in 2003."..(LH)...when that chap (perhaps Iraq's Minister for Defence?) nicknamed "Comic Ali" kept answering "no" regarding weapons that could reach other nations, he WAS saying the truth (whilst joking about other things, such as his side's chances). And that was given by the US and UK as a major reason for invasion. (Does anyone know what became of him, by the way?). And still further...

Poem 41 of 230: EVEN AFTER LINCOLN, STEINBECK, AND KING

Written at a public toilet by the
    Statue of Liberty:
"What of Equality, Fraternity;
    And Democracy!?"

The U.S.A. has aided dictators -
    Right-Wing leaders, of course;
So some's bestowal of democracy
    Is hypocrisy.
