Which brings up another question I am almost afraid to ask:

If there are 15 members in the Security Council, and 8 represents a majority out of 15, then why are NINE votes neeeded for a resolution to pass.

Oh hell, why bothering to ask a question about the Frelling United Nations. Nothing there makes sense. Nothing.

...9 of 15 majority...

I guess 60% is required if you're going through the UN. Or only one vote if you're going through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
