Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Obama Wandirasa? Is Obama truly pro-black?

this is a case of the foxes minding the hen house. it's called the security council, or so-called security council. so if russia or china or the u.s. decide the war will go on, it goes on. "removal of threats to the peace"! how can anyone possibly cite this with a straight face these days. it is the rule of the powerful few states, and the rest get to chime in, not to rule.
syria can go on killing as long as russia authorizes it. the rest is nonsense
