Ken, why in the world would we want to do that? SC veto is a two-way street. Any resolutions France, Russia, et.al. could and probably should be vetoed by the US...not only regarding Iraq but also other issues as well.

I considered that as well, but have to think that it will never happen because . . . it will be vetoed. The US could, of course, threaten to leave the UN unless major reforms like this are enacted, but I don't think we're there yet.
