Yes, but he was questioning my support of the UN in light of 'the current model,' so I just confirmed that.

You've criticized it in the past ... I'm sure I (or Tom, or Tahna, or Liam, or anyone) could dig up some anti-UN sentiments.

I support the idea and concept behind the founding of the UN. It's current direction and leadership, I have some doubts about.
I mean... SUDAN???

Need we explain to you the concept of regional seat allocation again?

Need we explain why it's utterly idiotic, if it leads to Sudan being on the Human Rights council? I mean, with that conclusion, the premise's stupidity should be self-evident.

When it leads to one of the only remaining countries where slavery is encouraged being allocated a seat on the Human Rights Council, I believe you know what 'seat region' you can stuff your concept in.

Probably the same region that holds China's admission into the World Trade Federation.
Have I perhaps detected a double standard here?

Hey, there's nothing wrong with international forums. It's just that that one is more or less screwed up at the mo.

It should be noted that the current administration made no protest of Sudan's...application?, as was our right.

No, I'm not entirely in favor of that either. (Although I'm not entirely sure that that was "my side's" doing.) Don't assume I stick straight to party lines.
But in any case, it's still not the same... the WTF is several miles over from the Human Rights Council. One's primarily economic, the other's supposed to be political/humanitarian.

Just so long as it doesn't interfere with our oil supply.

I wouldn't mind a lack of oil. Sure would stimulate safer roads and better public transportation...
