because it doesn't do what it was intended to do. I think maybe not enough power, and 4 countries have Veto power, so no matter what the entire assembly votes, just one of the 4 don't like it, no go. Can't remember the title of the FOUR...

But we are represented by Samantha Power. She's attractive, sharp and intelligent, in my opinion, so we are well represented.

Pray to whatever god you like that they find a way to end the madness that has gone on since '47. Enough is enough.
