" Did you or I ever vote for these people ".

You and John may have voted for your country's representatives, the same allowance given to every other democratically elected regime as member nations.

Remember now, the ONLY non - democratic government of the five in the UNSC with veto power is China.

The other ten rotating members come from the larger pool that may or may not be democracies, with the vast vast majority of members being democracies, except for the ME.

But here is a scenario that Bush,Inc, and surely no one here, have contemplated :

What if when the UN takes a vote and does not ratify the proposals as submitted.No amount of further " consultation " can meet an acceptable compromise, and the US walks away to begin unilateral action?

Unilateral action begins as a regime change attempt with no other ME country onboard, except Israel, as all those countries have backed a UN only resolution.

The UN then expels the US from the Security Councel.The US insists the UN leave American soil.All of the UN members who agree insist all US military personal and equipment be removed from their soil, all embassies are closed and all foreign ambassadors are recalled.

( By the way - oil is now 50 US BBL - the Dow is 3000 - the USD is now 80 cents and gold is now 500 per OZ )

Next step?
