Wow, typical. Anytime you start losing the argument you resort to obfuscation, bait and switch and name calling.
Once again, if you give every member of the UN more legitimacy then the UN as a whole will function more properly. As opposed to being used as nothing more than an arm for a pro-Western coalition. By allowing smaller members to override the security council veto, they will force the more powerful nations to compromise. Of course, if one single nation attempts to leave this body because it is not doing what they want then the other members can band together against that country and win in a possible show of force- there has yet to be a country that has left the UN.
