I can't see that the UN has had any legitimacy since somewhere in the 50s, and really, the whole concept of Security Council vetoes renders it laughable (just one of many many irredeemable flaws in its design)<br /><br />As for German politics, yes, it does seem to have gone quite quite mad. Do the changes in the official party stances reflect changes in the actual mood and inclination of those voting blocs??>? or is it driven by the sniff of power and political machianations intra- and inter-party?Die alte Aechzenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294141940637952687noreply@blogger.com
