My hostility towards the UN is based on its poorly written charter, assuming the security council structure is in the charter. When one member can stop 14 others from action, you have created impossible gridlock. I have no doubt that there are huge backroom deals at the UN to get all 15 members to vote affirmative or abstain. So, its very structure breeds indecision at best and corruption at worst, in my opinion.

At the risk of sounding like a cowboy, we all knew what needed to be done weeks ago - we knew what the right thing to do was and we wanted to do the right thing. Because the rules at the UN are so broken, the right time to do the right thing has passed.
