No democracy at UN: Bolivian president

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

UNITED NATIONS - There was no democracy at the United Nations, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was “the economic instrument of the United States”, Bolivia’s leftist–populist president Evo Morales has said. Speaking to reporters at UN Headquarters in New York on late Wednesday, he said it was not possible for all member states to be subjected to the Security Council, the world body’s power centre.

“What Security Council?” the Bolivian leader asked. “It was an in-security council for mankind around the world,” he said, adding that would have to be discussed at another time.

President Morales also pointed to the US blockade against Cuba, saying that all the countries in the world, except two, were in favour of lifting it, so why not enforce those resolutions? Israel and the United States rejected it, and all countries were subjected to their will. “What democracy?” he asked again.

1. Well, no shit.

The idea of the security council makes a laughingstock of the idea of global democracy.

Five of the seven most outrageous and aggressive imperialist powers of the 20th century get absolute veto control? what the fuck is up with that shit?
