"US got veto power <ggg>"

>>> Yes, I know (as a security council member). What's your point?

"GS's statement was completely insensitive to US tragedy and completely idiotic. I think US should just exit UN and kick them out of NY."

>>> I opinion was previously stated: reform or replace... but some form of world organization is necessary for dispute resolution.

re: perhaps upon GNP grounds

"you're sarcastic of course"

>>> No, I'm serious. I have believed for many years that it's ridiculous for Micronesia to have the same one vote in the General Assembly that, say, the US or China does.
