LOL...and just how do you suggest "W" toss Russia and China out of the Security Council?

Read up on your history. It has happened twice before. The Chinese Nationalist government of Taiwan was tossed out and the PRC instituted in its place in 1971 and in 1991, the government of Russia took over the seat previously held by the government of the USSR. There is a legitimate movement right now to put India, Germany, and Japan on it. Like FDR and packing the USSC, if you can't get rid of the recalcitrant ones, you can add more who are favorable to your goals.

Besides, you didn't answer my question. Why is the Iran nuclear problem the exclusive problem of the U.S. and not the other four members? That's what they are there for.

Tell me then. What would have to be done to get Russia and China out of the UN Security Council? "We" can't do that alone, as you advised.

"Why is the Iran nuclear problem the exclusive problem of the U.S. and not the other four members? That's what they are there for."

I'll answer that. Two of the other four members are going to vote in favor of sanctions. Three of the four are trying to convince the other two to go along. That's what they're there for.

As for possible future military action, the comprehensive information on the list of countries that will take such action is not yet publicly known. The propaganda situation is known, though. Anti-American voices and their mesmerized, useful idiot receptacles are saying that America "will go it alone," just as they did before the Iraq invasion. They've shown themselves to be liars time and again.

That's an easy one.

Our position vis-a-vis the other members of the Security Council is so politically precarious, Bolton couldn't really get any significant reform placed on the agenda.

And, I must surmise that you must EVEN acknowledge this reality. One of the many costs of being the sole Global Lion Slayer -- for NOW.

I am well aware of the long past events you cite. However, they have NO relevance, whatsoever, to current international political realities.

The demise of the Soviet Union changed the global landscape in such a manner that it will take years for the political scientists to determine with some degree of historical accuracy the costs the United States will ultimately pay in its reluctant assumption of UniPolar Global Hegemony.

Again, I state: The United States (as the duty King of the Hill bad guy at the UN) could not even get Kofi to change the brand name of his Chablis. Much less, anything of significance.

Flame on, if you must.
