| #11 Have I got a * deal * for you. The Africa Union can have veto powers in the UN (but wait there's more!) and they can supply a quarter of the the UN budget (but wait - still more!) and the UN HQ can be moved to a more convenient spot - like Harare, Zimbabwe. No hurry, next week will be fine. |

| #10 I think we should let every single country have veto power at the UN. Just like now, nothing will ever get done, but unlike now it will be obvious to everyone that the place is useless, so there'll be no problem with us just ignoring it. |

| #8 They want to veto any truth about Africa from surfacing. Zimbabwe is an overhyped country by way of governance. Do we all need their perception and practise of wondrous "morality"? |

| #7 Apparently the UN is too involved in preventing genocide in Africa... The problem being that they're not particularly good at it... |

| #6 3dc: A veto backed by what power projection? That doesn't really *france* seem to be a requirement. |

| #3 Brilliant idea! No seriously. It would render the UN irelevancy out for anyone, with a smidget of grey brain matter, to see. Then move UN out of US. |

| #2 Really? A veto backed by what power projection? |

| #1 Zimbabwe is the nation most representative of modern Africa. No veto, but at least 15 minutes of prime time TV exposure per week. |
