In reply to: Ian (Australia) 's message, "With all this current talk of expanding the UN Security Council..." on 18:10:43 12/04/04 Sat

that in the Security Council the vote of Libya counts as much as that of Germany. The structure is completely outdated and based on a set of principles incompatible with many nation's internal politics.

... having lived in one and visited the other, I don't see them as members of this group. Indonesia, because I have yet to see much evidence of their being champions of freedom and justice, and Brazil because they don't have either the muscle or the willpower to do anything about them.

Brazil sent peacekeeping troops to Haiti, but only after they convinced the USA to pay for the mission. They also started crying and asking to come home when they discovered that there was the possibility of being shot at.

They did, however, put on a goodwill soccer game, which did much to establish the rule of law in one of the poorest, most violent countries in the Americas.
