This says everything we need to know about their philosophical position, I believe:

""America must know that the storm of airplanes will not stop and there are thousands of young people who look forward to death like the Americans look forward to life," said Sulaiman Abu Ghaith said."

Young people who look forward to death like Americans look forward to life. Nihilism. Negation. This life is evil and all happiness is a sin. Death is the greatest good. Perversity.

they won't be allowed to be nominated again.

Oh, it's just that belief that if you give an unruly child a position of responsibility where they have to be mature, then maybe they'll moderate their policies..

Who knows? It might even work with regard to Syria, since Assad needs all the support he can obtain to moderate the extremists who supported his father. Now they will have to be answerable to other members of the security council, and not just to themselves.

After all, Israel has never been elected to any main body in the UN... And those who claim that's because of their occupation of the West Bank ignore the fact that Syria has been occupying Lebanon for decades now.
