Excellent Rant. Nothing at all like a really heartfelt rant to get my juices flowing!
Reading this I couldn't remember the SG either. They used to be like royalty! I remember a series of stamps issued in the US honoring the first 4.
You are correct. The UN right now is essentially irrelevant and a brutally expensive irrelevance at that. The whole process is so watered down with correctness that nothing gets done. No thing that really matters. And it's military arm isn't run through the General Assembly so there is no particular oversight there, either.
Accckkk. Thanks for a great post. It's REALLY good to see you here.
Thanks for reading man! I appreciate it :-)
The security council atleast meant something for a while..... now I don't even know who are the members of it (except the permanent ones).
