It only takes one veto to block a resolution? You would think I'd know this considering all thats been going on. I was under the assumption that the problems we had with the UN were because 2 countries were going to say no about Iraq. France and China.
But a single no is powerful enough? Or, will it take Blair and Bush to both veto?

A single veto is enough. The shocker was that both France and Russia were going to veto.

Which makes sense with the French oil deals (possible nuclear materials) and Russian military equipment in Iraq.

Just takes one veto by one of the five permanent Security Council members to kill a Security Council resolution.

Dumb, huh? Would you trust anything to the morons that came up with this system?
