well to be fair...the notion of any *one* country having veto power is wholly undemocratic...

but we all know the un isn't necessarily about democracy...

basically the veto power was there to prevent alliances of the five "super powers"

i guess on that score we should allow that france understood the mechanism well and used it for all its worth in defending their particular interests (oil)

we really should thank them for demonstrating that fact.
