As to the discussion of whether this was a veto

Article 27 of the UN Charter states that:

1.Each member of the Security Council shall have one vote.

2.Decisions of the Security Council on procedural matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members.

3.Decisions of the Security Council on all other matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members including the concurring votes of the permanent members; provided that, in decisions under Chapter VI, and under paragraph 3 of Article 52, a party to a dispute shall abstain from voting.

The US vote of no would have been a veto had an additional nation voted yes.

A miracle. We have one less bad thing to say about the UN. This is like Entrope reducing. Scratch that. This is Entrope reducing.
