What would the world be like if the UN could enforce its resolutions?

if you think that 2/5 are a majority then I suggest you go back to the math books.....and anyway...the correct value would be 1/5.....I´m not seeing were you are getting the 2nd dictatorship from.

I didnt mean the majority, I just meant a good number were. 40% of the security council being dictatorships isn't very good. Where do you think I'm getting the second dictatorship from? Just take a shot in the dark and tell me.

I guess you´re implying that it´s Russia.......with the way it delt with some situations with extreme force like the theater and school episoded.....passing new laws that restrict public liberties to fight terrorism.....


But I don´t know....judging by the way the US has been behaving lately...the 2000 election....guantanamo......using terrorist events to retrict public liberties....


hell I give up! can we just flip a coin between the 2 to decide?


the only one I would categorize as a dictatorship in the group is china....those guys don´t even pretend to be something else.

Oh boy, we are now comparing Russia and the US, saying that they both are equally horrible dictatorships. I only have one thing to say to you. Get a clue, buddy.

Well, to be fair to Ronin, I did plant the seed, though I really thought he was cheekily referring to them.

Ronin, I suggest you take a look at what's happened in Russia with Gazprom and how Putin has 'encouraged' those in the Russian media to portray his administration in the best possible light. Last I heard, despite it's unfavorable coverage throughout his presidency, Bush hadn't imprisoned Les Moonves (owner of CBS news)

wrong.....try reading before replying...

I said that there is only one dictatorship on the security council...and that´s China....

You implied that Russia is a dictatorship too......I merely pointed out a few similarities between Russia and the USA....for the record....I don´t think any of the 2 are dictatorships....

If it were shaped around to be like a liberal democarcy of the western sort, and if it enforced its own resolutions, then I think that the world be a muh more peaceful and much nicer place to live in for people in general. Breaking the world into smaller units is not the way to peace and goodwill.
