they wanted to go to war in iraq when they felt that it couldn't be done through the united nations security council because of a veto from france and and other countries they just went it alone and they bypassed the united nations and the nations could do nothing whatsoever so it may be a talk shop and maybe a talk shop where certain small countries can feel their work for that particular five or ten minutes that their leader speaks but in reality in terms of influence and power they have none whatsoever when you think about that thomas when you the great powers have no use for the world body they just say well we'll go on our own and there's good and we can do it with impunity. well the question is why did the united states and the united kingdom go to the security council in the first place there would have been an additional legitimacy had the security council approved they're going to war they did not that is the way the charter was written so that the major powers have a bigger voice and in fact the security council or the un in general was damned if it didn't that is control the united states

to take their own sort of unilateral action and present their bid for statehood at the united nations security council and we know of course that the united states was completely by this prospect they have been trying to scare palestine by saying they would veto this at the security council this is not sort of frightening palestinians at all they said they would go through the united nations general assembly which is a little less of an important status but still quite a symbolic event if you know the one hundred twenty countries that support palestine in the general assembly would support its membership that would make the united states really. marginalized country together with israel from going to this number one mediator to really a country that's isolated because the international community would have supported palestine if this bid were officially to take place that sums it up so well and so that is kind of the latest of what's been very serious focus of today's debates but now let's talk a little bit about the lighter stuff because i know that a lot of side shows and highlights happen far away
